I selected The Reaper (1912-13). The work was done in oil on a canvas. In terms of style, this work represents Post-Impressionism with the vibrant and flat reds and background, and Cubism with the simple geometric body shapes of the peasant. Malevich's childhood experiences also influenced a peasant theme prevalent in many of his works. Overall, the hues and simple, geometric shapes in the the work depict Malevich's transition from Post-Impressionism to Cubism and even Suprematism. Interestingly, the use of black creates an aura of death, yet the use of yellow also humanizes the peasant.
