The artwork titled “Head” is a sketch and study created by Kazimir Malevich, an artist associated with the Neo-Suprematism movement. This piece exemplifies the artistic principles and techniques characteristic of this avant-garde genre.
In the artwork, a stylized head is prominently featured against a rich green background. The head, simplistic and abstract in design, is predominantly white with minimalistic facial features. The eyes are rendered as small, brown shapes, the nose is depicted with a blue and yellow stripe, and the mouth is a subtle brown form. The top of the head is accentuated with a black partial outline, giving a sense of structure. The neck area is illustrated using a mix of dark and light blue colors, while the garment or body below is colored a vibrant red that extends to the bottom of the composition. The overall composition is a study in color contrasts and geometric simplicity, embodying the essence of Neo-Suprematism.
