About Woman

The artwork titled “Woman,” created by Kazimir Malevich in 1916, is an example of the Cubism art movement and falls under the genre of sketch and study.

The artwork depicts a figure rendered in a minimalist cubist style, characterized by geometric shapes and angular lines. The composition is composed of fragmented and intersecting forms, creating an abstract representation of a woman. The use of straight lines and angular shapes encapsulates the essence of Cubism, focusing on deconstructing objects into basic geometric components. The drawing is monochromatic, employing a simple and direct approach consistent with sketch studies. The abstracted figure retains key human features, suggesting clothing and posture, while maintaining a high degree of abstraction, characteristic of Kazimir Malevich’s artistic exploration during this period.
