Believe it or not. But before you is a landscape. An amazing painting with amazing strokes of paint. It’s almost a dot set. An almost rainy palette sets against a yellow background. One can barely make out a house, trees, animals and people. One can interpret this canvas in different ways, and each time there will be a completely different palette. Or we can see the demonstrators during a festive demonstration.

Description of Kazimir Malevich’s painting Pesage
Believe it or not. But before you is a landscape. An amazing painting with amazing strokes of paint. It’s almost a dot set. An almost rainy palette sets against a yellow background. One can barely make out a house, trees, animals and people. One can interpret this canvas in different ways, and each time there will be a completely different palette. Or we can see the demonstrators during a festive demonstration. Or it seems to be a spring garden, after a cherry or an apple tree has blossomed. Then suddenly you realize that it’s probably still a cityscape. In this case too, the imagination is limitless.
It is not necessary to be too keen on the work of this artist, otherwise you can just slightly lose your mind. It will be a mass lesion of brain cells, if you try to get into a large album with reproductions of Malevich. And "Black Square" will seem like a child’s prank compared to other canvases that are similar to this painting as well. It’s just impossible to stare at the picture for a long time. Soon everything starts to look double and triple in your eyes and it becomes unclear what it’s all for. It worked. Amaze and make you doubt your fantasy? It worked, too. But then why was it created?
Although, in fact, of course it’s beautiful. Of course it’s genius. And all that makes a genius is not always clear at once. It takes time and needs apparently that very vision of things, which had Malevich, to finally declassify some of his paintings. But, alas, we are not given it, and the author has long been dead.
But it really is beautiful. And I want to believe that this is a spring landscape, which gives us a sense of joy and a kind of madness. Spring is always like this: then nothing, then suddenly - bam! - and here it is the beauty of love, which is not immediately satiated. That’s probably what "Landscape" is all about.

The arrangement appears largely unstructured, lacking any discernible focal point or horizon line. The viewers eye is drawn into a swirling mass of color, suggesting an immersive experience rather than a depiction of a specific scene. There’s a sense of upward movement created by the slightly denser concentration of orange and red tones towards the upper portion of the canvas, which gradually diminishes toward the lower edge.
The painting evokes feelings associated with sunlight filtering through foliage or perhaps a field of wildflowers viewed from close range. The lack of clear forms allows for multiple interpretations; it could represent an abstract expression of natures abundance, a sensory overload, or even a visualization of sound and movement.
Subtly, the work hints at themes of transience and ephemerality. The fragmented brushwork suggests something fleeting and constantly in flux. The density of marks also implies a teeming vitality, a sense of life overflowing its boundaries. While visually stimulating, theres an underlying feeling of being overwhelmed by the sheer volume of detail, which could be interpreted as a commentary on the complexities of perception or the challenges of understanding the natural world.
