About New Man

The artwork titled “New Man” was created by Kazimir Malevich in 1913. Executed using pencil and paper, this piece is associated with the Constructivism art movement. It is a sketch and study genre piece measuring 27 x 21 cm and is currently housed at the St. Petersburg State Museum of Theater and Music in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

The artwork depicts a stylized human figure rendered in a geometric abstraction typical of Constructivist aesthetics. The figure is composed of various shapes delineated by strong lines and is filled with a mix of colors, including purples, yellows, blacks, and whites. The overall impression suggests both a futuristic approach and a theatrical costume design, embodying the innovative spirit of the early 20th-century avant-garde movement. The simplistic yet thought-provoking nature of the sketch reflects Malevich’s explorations into deconstruction and synthesis in visual representation.
