About The Running Man

“The Running Man,” created by Kazimir Malevich between 1932 and 1933, is an oil painting on canvas that belongs to the Neo-Suprematism art movement. This genre painting is housed at the Georges Pompidou Center in Paris, France.

The artwork depicts a figure running with great urgency and energy across a vibrantly colored landscape. The dominant hues are shades of blue, green, red, and white, creating a stark and dynamic composition. The man’s attire reflects a simplified and somewhat abstract style, characteristic of Malevich’s approach to Neo-Suprematism. The backdrop consists of various geometric shapes and structures, suggestive of buildings and possibly a cross, which adds further layers of meaning and visual interest to the painting.
