About Soldier of the First Division

“Soldier of the First Division”, created by Kazimir Malevich in 1914, is an artwork belonging to the Cubism movement and is categorized as a portrait. The artwork features a complex composition of geometric shapes and fragmented forms, characteristic of Cubism. Various shapes, such as squares, rectangles, and semicircles, are seen overlapping and intersecting. A notable component is a blue square placed prominently in the upper portion of the artwork. Additionally, there are elements of collage, such as a thermometer and text snippets, integrated into the composition, contributing to the fragmented and multifaceted nature of the piece. The use of vibrant colors and the intricate interplay of shapes and text elements create a dynamic visual experience, reflecting the abstract and avant-garde tendencies of early 20th-century modernist art.
