About Costume for Victory over the Sun: The New Man

The artwork, titled *”Costume for Victory over the Sun: The New Man,”* was created by Kazimir Malevich in 1913. It belongs to the art movement known as Futurism and falls under the genre of design. This piece is part of the series *”Victory over the Sun.”*

The artwork features a stylized figure rendered with geometric shapes and vibrant colors. The figure’s attire is composed of angular blocks of color—black, yellow, purple, and white—that create a fragmented yet cohesive form. The face is marked by a striking green hue, adding to the otherworldly and avant-garde nature of the design. The figure’s limbs are simplified into sharp, linear elements, and the juxtaposition of contrasting colors and shapes reflects the Futurist fascination with dynamism and the breaking of traditional forms. The overall composition exudes a sense of modernity and abstraction, emblematic of Malevich’s innovative approach to art and design.
