The artwork titled “Many and One” by Kazimir Malevich, created in 1913, is rendered using pencil on paper. This sketch and study piece, associated with the Constructivism art movement, measures 27 x 21 cm. It is housed in the St. Petersburg State Museum of Theater and Music, located in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The artwork portrays a stylized, geometric figure drawn in profile. The figure is divided into distinct sections with various shades of red, pink, and black, organized in a manner that exemplifies Constructivist principles. The angularity and segmentation suggest a modernist approach to form and structure. The minimalist background enhances the focus on the figure itself, and the fine pencil lines highlight the geometric details. At the bottom of the artwork, there is a handwritten notation in Russian, adding an element of personal touch and contextual significance to the piece.
