About Carpenter

The artwork titled “Carpenter” was created by Kazimir Malevich in the year 1929. Representing the Neo-Suprematism movement, this portrait, measuring 71 x 44 cm, showcases the artist’s distinctive style within this genre.

In the artwork, a stylized figure of a carpenter is depicted, characterized by geometric forms and bold, contrasting colors. The carpenter, rendered in an abstract manner, is holding an axe in one hand while gesturing towards a set of wooden logs placed in the foreground. The figure is dressed in an apron, suggestive of their trade, with the artist’s signature use of angular shapes and flat planes. The backdrop features a simplified landscape with trees, a building with a window, and distant structures, all emphasizing the geometric abstraction typical of Malevich’s style. The use of primary colors and the composition’s structured layout reflect the principles of Neo-Suprematism, focusing on basic geometric forms and a limited color palette.
