“Morning in the Country after Snowstorm” is an oil on canvas artwork by Kasimir Malevich, dating back to 1913. This piece exemplifies the Cubo-Futurism movement and is part of the 1st Peasant Cycle genre painting series. The artwork measures 31 3/4 by 31 7/8 inches (80.7 x 80.8 cm) and is house at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City, NY, US.
The artwork presents a fragmented and multidimensional rural landscape that captures the essence of a country morning following a snowstorm. It employs geometric forms and a palette of muted and bright tones to convey the dynamism and energy associated with the Cubo-Futurist style. Through the use of angular shapes and intersecting planes, Malevich reconstructs the natural world into a series of abstracted patterns that overlap and converge, evoking a sense of movement and the passage of time. The integration of form and color results in a complex composition that challenges perceptions of space and depth, characteristic of the artist’s avant-garde exploration during that era.
