Suprematic relief

Mediums: oil, wood.
Location: the Ludwig Museum, Cologne (Germany).

The multilevel composition only at first glance has two colors. The volume of the relief is achieved by shades of gray, which creates the effect of translucent glass – under it there are also some well-readable, although pale figures and elements. The expanded light square, as well as the bluish-gray figures, support the black fragments in such a way that they do not seem heavy or oppressive to the light background. The work clearly expresses the idea explained in the theoretical treatise on “the culture of magnetic forces, dynamic excitation and rhythm”.
