Kazimir Malevich Woodcutter (1912) Cubist 1st Peasant Cycle – Hand-Painted Oil Reproduction by Dafen Village Studio

Painted in 1912, Woodcutter (Лесоруб / Lesorub) is one of the most celebrated achievements of Kazimir Malevich’s Cubo-Futurist period and a cornerstone of his 1st Peasant Cycle. Housed in the prestigious Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, the painting depicts a peasant laborer poised with an axe among stacked logs. Influenced by Fernand Léger’s “Tubism,” French Cubism, and traditional Russian icon painting, Malevich transforms the figure and forest into dynamic, cylindrical logs of painted sheet metal. The composition radiates energy through contrasting cylindrical highlights, deep shadows, and geometric rhythm, turning rural labor into an iconic symbol of modern structural force.
