The artwork titled “Two Figures”, created by Kazimir Malevich, is an oil painting on canvas and belongs to the Neo-Suprematism art movement. It measures 60.5 x 72 cm and is classified under the genre of sketches and studies.
The artwork features two abstract human figures rendered with geometric shapes and a simplified color palette. The figures are composed primarily of vertical and horizontal segments of color such as blue, yellow, red, and neutral tones. The background is plain, directing focus on the prominently stylized forms that reflect Malevich’s exploration of form and spatial relationships in the realm of Neo-Suprematism. The minimalist composition exemplifies a study in abstraction, emphasizing the intersection of color planes and the reduction of figures to their most basic elements.
