“Prayer,” created by Kazimir Malevich in 1913, belongs to the art movement known as Cubo-Futurism. As a sketch and study piece, this artwork is a part of the “1st Peasant Cycle” series.
The artwork embodies the essence of Cubo-Futurism through its fragmented, abstract representation. It features a series of intersecting geometric shapes and dynamic forms, characterized by sharp angles and overlapping planes. The monochromatic palette emphasizes the play of light and shadow, bringing depth and complexity to the composition. The forms within the artwork evoke a sense of movement and energy, indicative of the Futurist influence on Malevich’s work.
