About Two Male Figures

The artwork, titled “Two Male Figures,” was created by Kazimir Malevich around the year 1932. Executed using oil on canvas, this portrait is part of the Neo-Suprematism art movement. Measuring 99 x 74 cm, it belongs to Malevich’s “2nd Peasant Cycle” series.

The artwork depicts two male figures standing side by side against a vivid, abstract background. The figures, rendered in a minimalist and geometric style, are dressed in simple, white garments with black accents. The larger figure is positioned on the left and the smaller one on the right, each gazing outward with obscured, faceless heads. The background comprises horizontal bands of color, with a predominantly blue sky overhead and green and red tones suggesting the landscape below. This piece exemplifies Malevich’s exploration of abstract forms and the human condition within the context of his Neo-Suprematist vision.
