About Oh, my dear city of Lublin

The artwork titled “Oh, my dear city of Lublin,” created by Kazimir Malevich in 1914, is a representation of the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement and is classified as a poster.

In the artwork, a prominently dressed figure, possibly symbolizing a peasant or folkloric character, gestures affectionately towards the distant city of Lublin. The figure is depicted in vibrant attire, with a yellow shawl adorned with stylized floral motifs and an ornate head covering, projecting a sense of rural simplicity and devotion. The background features a simplified landscape dominated by the quaint architecture of Lublin, characterized by its picturesque buildings and greenery. The color palette is distinctly bright and earthy, with blues and greens contrasting the figure’s attire. The composition and stylistic elements exhibit the attributes of Naïve Art, emphasizing a directness and sincerity in expression, devoid of academic conventions. At the bottom, a caption in Cyrillic script enhances the sense of cultural and emotional connection.
