The artwork titled “Blue Portrait” was created by Kazimir Malevich in the year 1930. Executed in oil on canvas, this piece falls within the Post-Impressionism art movement. The dimensions of the artwork are 46.5 x 34.5 cm, and it belongs to the portrait genre.
The artwork depicts a solitary figure, whose visage is rendered in stark white, creating a striking contrast against the predominantly blue and indigo hues that surround the subject. The subject appears to be garbed in a blue garment, adorned with a central collar of rich pink tones. The background consists of abstract, textured brushstrokes in varied shades of blue, green, yellow, and black, contributing to the depth and complexity of the composition. The portrayal of the figure melds Post-Impressionist influences with a sense of introspective solemnity, characteristic of Kazimir Malevich’s oeuvre during this period.
