About the piece

Painted in 1912, 'The Woodcutter' is a definitive example of Kazimir Malevich's transition into Cubo-Futurism. The work transforms a traditional Russian rural theme into a rhythmic, mechanical composition of metallic cylindrical forms and bold primary colors, capturing the industrial energy of early 20th-century modernism.
