Russian Art
Malevich, K. S.
"Study for Fresco Painting, Self-Portrait". 1907 (?)
Notes: Study for Fresco Painting, Self-Portrait.
One of several studies for fresco paintings in the State Russian Museum, this work reflects the artist's exposure to Art Nouveau and to Symbolism. Like his Impressionist works, it is a tribute to Malevich's earnest search for a way to express feeling in two dimensional painting.
