About this work

Artist: Kazimir Malevich (1879–1935)
Year: 1916
Medium: Oil on canvas
Original size: 80.5 × 71 cm
Collection: State Russian Museum, St Petersburg
Movement: Suprematism

Rectangles and bars in red, yellow, black, pink and pale blue float diagonally across a white ground, with a blue crescent at upper right, a small green disc at left and clusters of thin lines and tiny planes trailing toward the lower right, like objects scattered through space. There is no ground line and no perspective; scale and colour alone suggest depth. Malevich painted it in 1916, a year after the Petrograd exhibition at which he introduced Suprematism with his Black Square, and it belongs to the more complex compositions of that year, in which many forms move together along a dominant diagonal. He described such pictures as glimpses of a weightless, infinite white space. It is in the State Russian Museum in St Petersburg.

This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.

Where it works

Red, yellow and black bars with a blue crescent drifting across white space, for a home office, teenager's room or study at 16×24 in black. A white or pale grey wall; it pairs with Untitled (Suprematist Composition).

Style, size & framing detail

Style: Suprematism painting
Era: 20th century (1916)
Orientation: Portrait

Rooms: study or library, home office, living room, dining room
Good gift for: housewarming, art lovers

Size. We'd hang this one at 16×24. Prints at 12×18, 16×24 in — 12×18 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 16×24 above a desk, console or in a hallway.

Framing. The gallery ground is part of the print, so frame it without a mat — natural wood flatters the lighter palette; black sharpens it.

Pairing. Pairs as a set of three with other famous painting prints (10% off three or more).

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The image fills the print at the painting's own proportions; nothing is trimmed to fit a frame.

Is Suprematism in the public domain?

Yes. Kazimir Malevich (1879–1935) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by State Russian Museum.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18 and 16×24 inches; every size is also offered framed in black or natural wood, with plexiglass and no mat. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Suprematism painted, and in what medium?

Suprematism dates from 1916 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 80.5 × 71 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

Across a three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 16×24 is the size that reads as one statement piece; 12×18 suits a narrower wall or a pair. For Suprematism we'd choose 16×24.
