Kazimir Malevich (Ukranian, 1879 - 1935). Sportsmen sculpture for the Guggenheim Museum, modeled after the original. Painted paper mache. Marked Guggenheim Museum 1996 SRGF to underside of base. Kazimir Severinovich Malevich was a Polish-Ukrainian Russian avant-garde artist and art theorist, whose pioneering work and writing had a profound influence on the development of non-objective art and post modernism in the 20th century. Inspired by The Sportsmen painting and sketches, these hand painted figurines are as bold and colorful today as when they were conceived at the dawn of the abstract Modernist movement commencing the twentieth century. Rendered in three dimensions, their simplified color block formation holds up, creating an arresting sculpture piece for any environment. Dimensions: 19 1/2" high x 4" square at the base. Condition: Very good, with very minor losses of paint to the bottom edge of the base.
