The artwork, titled “Girl in the Country,” was created by Kazimir Malevich in 1929. Composed using oil on wood, it is a part of the Neo-Suprematism movement and belongs to the portrait genre. This piece is included in the “2nd Peasant Cycle” series by the artist.
In “Girl in the Country,” Malevich presents a stylized portrayal of a woman standing against the backdrop of the countryside, characterized by geometric shapes and vibrant colors. The woman’s attire is rendered in contrasting hues of red and white for the upper garment and deep blue for the skirt. Her face, depicted with simplicity and devoid of detailed features, evokes a sense of unity with the abstract surroundings. The background features houses in complementary colors, integrating with the geometrical and abstract elements of Neo-Suprematism. This piece reflects Malevich’s exploration of form and color, contributing to his broader oeuvre of innovative peasant-themed compositions.
