About Composition

The artwork, entitled “Composition,” was created by Kazimir Malevich in 1932. Rendered in oil on canvas, this piece epitomizes the Neo-Suprematism art movement and is characterized by its abstract form. Measuring 40 x 56 cm, the artwork showcases Malevich’s distinctive approach to abstract art.

The artwork’s composition is dominated by horizontal bands of varied colors, including green, black, white, red, and blue. The central and largest band is a muted green, flanked by layers of other hues. The use of color and the distinct separation of the bands create a harmonious yet dynamic visual effect. The texture appears uniform, but the brushstrokes and layering suggest a complex technique. The abstract nature of the piece invites viewers to contemplate the relationships between the colors and their placement within the composition, reflecting Malevich’s exploration of pure artistic expression devoid of representational forms.
