About The wedding

The artwork, titled “The Wedding,” was masterfully created by Kazimir Malevich in 1907. It employs oil on canvas and belongs to the art movements of Post-Impressionism and Cloisonnism. This genre painting captures a scene from a wedding, characterized by its distinct use of color and formal arrangement.

“The Wedding” depicts a procession of formally dressed figures, likely taking place in a rural setting. The participants, donning elegant attire such as top hats and long coats, appear to be part of the wedding party, escorting a bride adorned in a flowing white gown decorated with red accents. The figures are illustrated in a stylized, almost abstract manner, emphasizing the use of bold outlines and flat areas of color typical of Cloisonnism. The scene is set against a backdrop of vivid hills and fields, with patches of green, yellow, and red interspersed amidst abstract shapes, creating a dynamic and vibrant composition. The juxtaposition of the celebratory figures and the colorful environment invites the viewer to delve into the festivity and tradition of the depicted wedding ceremony.
