The artwork, titled “Costume for Victory over the Sun: Funeral Performer,” is a design piece created by Kazimir Malevich in 1913. It belongs to the Futurism art movement and is part of the series “Victory over the Sun.”
The artwork depicts a stylized and abstract figure, characterized by geometric shapes and a limited color palette. The figure is composed of rectangular and trapezoidal forms, with a prominent red square on the chest and matching red accents on the shoulders, left leg, and top hat. The head appears minimalist, with a blue segment on the right side suggesting an element of contrast to the red. The figure’s attire, featuring a bell-shaped skirt, further emphasizes the avant-garde and experimental nature of Malevich’s design. Overall, the representation aligns with the themes of Futurism, focusing on innovation, modernity, and a break from traditional artistic forms.
