About Carpenter

The artwork titled “Carpenter,” created by Kazimir Malevich in 1911, is associated with the Cubo-Futurism movement and falls under the genre of sketches and studies.

The artwork is a monochromatic sketch, detailing a human figure engaged in the act of labor, likely a carpenter given the title. The figure is portrayed in a stylized and geometric manner, characteristic of the Cubo-Futurism movement, emphasizing sharp angles and linear forms. The posture of the carpenter is dynamic, suggesting movement and activity, with one leg bent and the arm in a working position. Geometric patterns, possibly representing textured objects or materials, complement the figure, enhancing the composition’s abstract quality. The simplicity in the use of lines and shading adds to the minimalistic yet profound aesthetic of the piece.
