About Traveler

The artwork titled “Traveler” is an early 20th-century sketch and study created by Kazimir Malevich in 1913. It is rendered using pencil on paper and belongs to the Cubism art movement. This piece is housed at the St. Petersburg State Museum of Theater and Music in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

The artwork is a geometric interpretation of a human figure, characteristic of Cubist principles. The figure is composed of sharp, angular shapes that are interconnected to form the semblance of a traveler. The use of stark, linear outlines defines the figure’s contours within a rectangular frame. The simplicity and abstraction of the shapes reflect the Cubist ideology of breaking down objects into their geometric forms.
