The artwork titled “Two Figures in a Landscape,” created by Kazimir Malevich in 1932, is an oil painting on canvas associated with the Neo-Suprematism art movement. The piece measures 48 x 59 cm and falls under the genre of portraiture.
The artwork depicts two faceless figures standing in a simplified, vibrant landscape. The figure on the left, dressed in a white top and black skirt, contrasts with the figure on the right, who wears a yellow top and red skirt. Both figures lack discernible facial features, adhering to Malevich’s abstract stylization. The background features a row of houses, fields, and a tree, rendered in geometric and vivid color blocks. The sky is a clear blue with scattered white clouds, adding to the composition’s serene yet enigmatic atmosphere. Notably, the figures’ faces are mere ovals of solid red, emphasizing abstraction and form over individual identity. The scene’s overall simplicity and bold colors reflect the principles of Neo-Suprematism, focusing on pure artistic feeling rather than depicting the visible world realistically.
