About this work

Artist: Kazimir Malevich (1879–1935)
Year: c. 1916
Medium: Oil on canvas
Original size: 53 × 53 cm
Collection: Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice
Movement: Suprematism

On an off-white ground, a tilted green trapezium, a black vertical bar, a blue shape and a red triangle cluster together with a scatter of thin rods in red, yellow, grey and teal, as if the forms were drifting or falling through empty space. Nothing rests on a horizon; the white is open, weightless space. Malevich painted it around 1916, the year after he launched Suprematism at an exhibition of abstract paintings in Petrograd in December 1915, where he showed his Black Square. Suprematism, as he described it, sought the supremacy of pure feeling in art, using flat geometric forms freed from any object. Compositions like this one, with several forms held in dynamic balance, followed the single-shape pictures of the first months. It is in the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice.

This exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. The original is in the public domain.

Where it works

A green trapezium, black bar and red triangle floating on an off-white ground, for a home office, study or teenager's room at 24×36 in black. A white or pale grey wall; it pairs with Suprematism.

Size. We'd hang this one at 24×36. Prints at 12×18, 16×24, 24×36 in — 12×18 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 16×24 above a desk, console or in a hallway; 24×36 as the statement piece above a sofa or bed.

Framing. Exhibition posters sit best in a slim black frame with no mat — the typeset margin is the mat.

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 exhibition-poster edition sets the complete image above typography designed in-house.

Is Untitled (Suprematist Composition) 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 Peggy Guggenheim Collection.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 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 Untitled (Suprematist Composition) painted, and in what medium?

Untitled (Suprematist Composition) dates from c. 1916 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 53 × 53 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

Across a three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 is the size that reads as one statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pair. For Untitled (Suprematist Composition) we'd choose 24×36.
