The black circle

author

Kazimir Malevich

description

Mediums: oil, canvas.
Location: State Russian Museum, St. Petersburg, Russia.

This is one of the most well-known early works by Malevich in this field, depicting pure geometrical figures in primary colors. The author sought to paint works that could be understood by all, but at the same time would have an emotional impact comparable to religious paintings.
