The artwork, titled “Singer,” was created by Kazimir Malevich in 1913. This piece utilizes pencil and watercolor on paper and belongs to the Constructivism movement. Classified under the genre of sketch and study, it exemplifies the early explorations of geometric abstraction.
In the artwork, a minimalist figure is represented through sharp, angular lines and bold geometric shapes. The use of primary colors, notably the red and blue, brings focus to specific elements of the figure, while the integration of black and grey adds depth and contrast. The composition reflects an abstract human form that is both dynamic and structurally coherent, embodying the innovative spirit of the Constructivist movement. The figure’s sketchy outline and fragmented appearance harmonize to create a balanced yet evocative depiction, indicative of Malevich’s experimental approach to form and structure in the early 20th century.
