About Woman Torso

The artwork titled “Woman Torso” by Kazimir Malevich, created in 1932, is an oil painting on canvas, measuring 58 x 48 cm. This portrait exemplifies the Neo-Suprematism movement.

The artwork portrays a highly abstracted depiction of a female torso using geometric shapes and bold, contrasting colors. The composition is split into various segments of flat color planes, with notable areas of red, black, blue, orange, and green. The figure’s head is divided into two halves, one black and the other white, with an eye meticulously placed on the right side. The neck and shoulders are composed of overlapping geometric shapes, hints of realism abstracted into minimalist forms. The background remains plain, drawing the viewer’s focus entirely on the figure’s stylized, almost mechanical portrayal.
