About Two and a pushcart

The artwork “Two and a pushcart,” created in 1911 by Kazimir Malevich, belongs to the Cubism art movement and fits within the genre painting category. This piece is a part of Malevich’s “1st Peasant Cycle” series. It depicts two figures engaged in the laborious task of pushing a cart laden with goods, capturing the essence of peasant life and work.

In the artwork, two individuals are illustrated in a simplified yet expressive manner. The figures are seen from a side perspective, both exerting effort to push a heavily loaded wheelbarrow. The use of line and form is prominent, embodying the Cubist approach with clear contours and a sense of structured movement. The scene is minimalistic yet evocative, focusing on the physicality and determination of the peasants. The rendering of the figures and the cart, with their geometric stylization, reflects the influence of Cubism while documenting a quotidian aspect of rural existence.
