About this work

Artist: Kazimir Malevich (1879–1935)
Year: 1912
Medium: Oil on canvas
Original size: 80.3 × 80.3 cm
Collection: The Museum of Modern Art, New York
Movement: Cubo-Futurism

A peasant woman carrying two pails on a yoke has been broken into cones, cylinders and faceted planes of grey, green, ochre and white, so that her body, the buckets and the village around her merge into one mechanical structure. The yoke runs diagonally across the top and the pails hang like metal drums. Malevich painted it in 1912, in his Cubo-Futurist phase, when he combined the faceting of French Cubism with the sense of movement of Italian Futurism and applied both to the subject of Russian rural labour. The subtitle, Dynamic Arrangement, points to that interest in motion. The painting was among the works Malevich left in Germany after his Berlin exhibition of 1927, and it came to The Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1935.

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

Where it works

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 Woman with Pails: Dynamic Arrangement 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 The Museum of Modern Art.

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 Woman with Pails: Dynamic Arrangement painted, and in what medium?

Woman with Pails: Dynamic Arrangement dates from 1912 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 80.3 × 80.3 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 Woman with Pails: Dynamic Arrangement we'd choose 24×36.
