Lot description
This work is one of the clearest expressions of Nina Kogan’s avant-garde vision. Here, we witness a vibrant and powerful composition reflecting the principles of Suprematism — a movement in which she was one of the leading female figures alongside Malevich and the UNOVIS group in Vitebsk. The visual center of the piece — a bold red circle — serves as a constructive axis around which sharp diagonal lines orbit or intersect, resembling dynamic forms in space. These lines are rendered in shades of blue, black, and red, creating a sense of depth, movement, and expansion — iconic features of the Suprematist language, which championed a break from all figurative representation in favor of the pure exploration of form, color, and space. Kogan, one of the pioneering women working at the heart of the Soviet avant-garde, managed to distill a personal voice within a collective artistic language, emphasizing a balance between cosmic movement and precise formal organization.
