About Speakers on Tribune

The artwork titled “Speakers on Tribune,” created by Kazimir Malevich in 1919, is a piece exemplifying the Suprematism art movement. Utilizing ink and watercolor on paper, the artwork measures 24.8 x 33.8 cm and belongs to the abstract genre.

In “Speakers on Tribune,” Malevich captures the essence of Suprematism through the use of geometric shapes and a limited color palette. The piece prominently features a central black square flanked by red rectangles and a red downward triangle. To the left, there is a composition of intersecting lines and geometric forms, while to the right, a solid black circle balances the arrangement. The precise, minimalistic approach highlights the abstract nature and emphasizes the importance of basic geometric forms in conveying the artist’s vision. The orderly arrangement of shapes and the stark contrast between black and red reflect the core principles of Suprematism, aiming to express pure artistic feeling rather than the depiction of objects.
