About Demon

The artwork titled “Demon”, created in 1914 by Kazimir Malevich, is representative of the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement. This piece belongs to the genre of posters and showcases the unique stylistic elements characteristic of its time.

The artwork depicts a silhouetted figure that appears ominous, reflecting the title “Demon.” The figure has a distinctly abstract, stylized form with exaggerated and sharp features, likely intended to invoke a sense of unease or intrigue. Accompanying the illustration is a column of text written in Cyrillic script, likely contributing to the thematic depth of the piece. The text and the figure combine to create a powerful visual and textual dynamic, emphasizing the poster’s provocative and evocative nature. The colors used are primarily monochromatic, adding to the stark and dramatic effect of the artwork.
