Billboard (1922) by Kazimir Malevich

The artwork titled “Billboard,” created by Kazimir Malevich in 1922, belongs to the Constructivism art movement and falls within the genre of poster art. The artwork is designed to announce a lecture given by Malevich himself, featuring a fragmented yet striking composition typical of the Constructivist style.

The design is divided into sections by black lines, with a notable horizontal black bar cutting across the lower third of the piece. This structural division reflects the Constructivist emphasis on geometry and organization. The text is rendered in a bold and starkly contrasting black over a yellowish background, creating a visually compelling and authoritative poster. The content includes details about the lecture, underscoring the innovative developments in art during that period. The typography and composition are reflective of the avant-garde approach, emphasizing function and clarity over decorative elements.
