The artwork, titled “Two Peasant,” was created by Kazimir Malevich in 1930 and falls under the Neo-Suprematism art movement. It is a part of the “2nd Peasant Cycle” series and belongs to the portrait genre.
In the artwork, two abstract figures of peasants are depicted, characterized by minimalist forms and stark colors. The figures lack detailed facial features and instead, focus on geometric shapes to convey the human form. One figure is larger and wears a combination of white, yellow, and minor red accents, while the other, slightly smaller figure, is portrayed in white, blue, and similar accents. The simplicity of the background, with horizontal bands of color at the base, further accentuates the minimalistic and abstract nature of the composition, characteristic of Malevich’s unique style within the Neo-Suprematism movement.
