Label Text:
The design of this cover reveals Rozanova’s familiarity with Suprematism, an artistic style featuring geometric abstraction and primary colors. Rozanova started her War portfolio the same year Kazimir Malevich introduced Suprematism to the art world in the Last Futurist Exhibition of Pictures: 0.10 in 1915. She demonstrates her progressive aesthetic spirit by immediately using the Suprematist forms in new ways in book design and collage technique.
