This silkscreen is based on Kazimir Malevich’s original stage designs from 1913 for the avant-garde opera Victory over the Sun (Sieg über die Sonne), a seminal collaboration between Russian Futurist figures Aleksei Kruchonykh (libretto), Mikhail Matyushin (music), and Malevich (sets and costumes). The opera marked a radical break from traditional aesthetics, embracing transrational language (Zaum), geometric abstraction, and a rejection of narrative logic.
Malevich’s set designs for the opera are considered among the earliest expressions of the abstract visual language that would evolve into Suprematism. The 1973 edition was published by Galerie Gmurzynska in Cologne as part of a limited commemorative portfolio of 15 screenprints, celebrating Malevich’s visionary contribution to modern art and theater.
