About Samovar

The artwork titled “Samovar” by Kazimir Malevich, created in 1913, exemplifies the Cubo-Futurism movement and belongs to the genre of still life.

The artwork is a compelling example of abstract composition, characterized by a complex interplay of geometric shapes and fragmented forms. It predominantly features a palette of subdued and cool tones, juxtaposed with occasional warmer hues, creating an intricate mosaic of color and shape. The forms are dissected and reassembled in a manner that challenges the viewer to perceive the depicted object—a samovar—in a non-traditional, multi-faceted way. The use of overlapping planes and fragmented imagery captures the dynamic and innovative spirit of Cubo-Futurism, reflecting the movement’s fascination with modernity and the simultaneous representation of various perspectives. The artwork’s meticulous arrangement of shapes and colors invites a meditative contemplation, demonstrating Malevich’s mastery in transforming everyday objects into profound visual explorations.
