The artwork, titled “Costume for Victory over the Sun: Man of Muscle,” was created by the artist Kazimir Malevich in 1913. It is part of the “Victory over the Sun” series and belongs to the Futurism art movement. Classified under the genre of design, this piece exhibits the characteristic dynamism and geometric abstraction associated with Futurism.
In the artwork, a humanoid figure is rendered in a highly geometric and abstract manner, composed mostly of triangles, rectangles, and other polygonal shapes. The figure appears to be robust and powerful, accentuated by its angular and sharp-edged form. The shading and lines used in the design create a three-dimensional effect, imbuing the figure with a sense of depth and mass. The monochromatic color scheme emphasizes the stark, mechanical quality of the depiction, aligning with the industrial and future-oriented themes of the Futurism movement. The inscription and signature at the lower part of the artwork indicate its identification and authorship by Kazimir Malevich.
