Malevich, K. S.
"Natalia Andreevna Malevich, the Artist's Wife, Portrait". 1934
Notes: Portrait of Natalia Andreevna Malevich, born Manchenko, the artist's wife.
From the late 1920s until his death, Malevich returned to painting portraits. Some recall the Fauve painters in their brilliant colors and abbreviated forms, while others remind the viewer of the grand manner of Italian Renaissance portraits. Still others follow the conventions of nineteenth-century genre portraits.
