Mikhail Larionov
Description
Subject Matter:
In this early period of his career, Larionov was part of the Moscow Association of Artists (Moskovskoe Tovarishchestvo Khudozhnikov) and met a number of avant-garde contemporaries like Kazimir Malevich and Wassily Kandinsky. Up until this point, he had primarily painted in a kind of Impressionist or Post-Impressionist style but it was at this moment that he began to create more abstract works. This abstract composition, with its simple lines and limited use of color, show his appreaciation for simplicity. These, along with the work of his close collaborator Malevich, were the early ventures into what would become the Suprematist movement.
Physical Description:
