About Landscape with Five Houses

“Landscape with Five Houses” is an artwork created by Kazimir Malevich circa 1932. This oil on canvas piece embodies elements of Expressionism and Neo-Suprematism. The artwork, measuring 83 by 62 centimeters, belongs to the cityscape genre.

The artwork depicts five simple, white houses with black roofs positioned against a vivid, blue sky. The sky dominates the upper portion of the composition with its serene and expansive quality. The lower portion of the artwork is characterized by a textured portrayal of the ground rendered in shades of orange and beige, reflecting variations in the terrain. The contrast between the solid, geometric forms of the houses and the more fluid application of color in the sky and ground creates a striking, balanced composition. This simplicity and structural precision, combined with the evocative use of color, are the hallmarks of Malevich’s exploration into abstract representation and spatial arrangement.
