Description of the painting "Woman with a Rake" by Kazimir Malevich
"Woman with a Rake" is a painting from the second series of the peasant cycle of works by Kazimir Malevich. The artist undertook its creation in 1930-1931, after the first cycle had been lost after the Berlin and Warsaw exhibitions in 1927.
The new paintings in the second cycle address other concerns. The painting depicts a female figure that is composed of geometric elements. The artist himself dubbed the canvas "suprematism in contour." Due to the presence of geometric figures it is not easy to decipher "Woman with a rake". This is not the first work in which objectivity and reference to peasant themes, which, at first glance, is unobvious, are evident. This suggests that despite the evolution of Malevich’s work, the artist does not abandon the image of earthly life.
The main colors of the canvas are white, red and black. The female figure, as in other works of the artist, is deprived of a face: instead of it we see a white and black spot. The background consists of stripes of colored fields and buildings, the shape of which is reminiscent of city buildings. Here the artist departs from the previous motifs of his works, which included peasant huts. Kazimir Malevich was trying to show the civilization that came to the village.
"Woman with a rake," unlike the similar "Peasant’s Head," is not conflictual. It does not carry the confrontation of man and the world, and the colors have a calm and smooth transition. But the main difference is that the painting "Woman with a rake" does not reflect the harmony of despair, which Malevich endowed the "Peasant’s Head".
You cannot comment Why?
The picture has something of this: people, man, wear, outdoors, recreation, competition, vehicle, leisure, two, fun, action, education, woman, child, school.
Perhaps it’s a painting of a woman in a black and white dress standing in front of a body of water with a boat in the distance and a blue sky in the background.
