The story
Painterly Realism of a Peasant Woman in Two Dimensions, also known as Red Square, is a 1915 painting by Kazimir Malevich. Red Square was part of Malevich's Suprematist art movement (1915–1919), which aimed to create artworks that were universally understood.
A non-representational work, the painting shows a red quadrilateral on a white field. The red square is one of the Malevich's three suprematist squares, the other two being black and white.
Red Square is currently in the collection of the Russian Museum.
