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.
