About Worker

“Worker,” crafted by Kazimir Malevich in 1933, is an oil on canvas painting belonging to the Neoclassicism art movement. This evocative portrait measures 71 by 60 centimeters, skillfully rendered in a style characteristic of the artist’s later period.

In the artwork, a figure stands prominently against a stark black background, which serves to accentuate the vivid hues of the subject’s attire and face. The individual, presumably a worker, wears a vibrant red garment with white sleeves adorned with blue and yellow stripes. A blue headscarf frames their face, enhancing the subject’s resolute and contemplative expression. The hands are depicted in a natural, almost conversational gesture, bringing life to the figure. The use of light and shadow gives the subject a tangible presence, conveying strength and fortitude. The overall composition is both striking and thought-provoking, reflecting the artist’s mastery and the thematic elements of the time.
