Red Cavalry is an oil on canvas painting of 1932 by the Russian avant-garde artist Kazimir Malevich. It depicts Red Cavalry horsemen racing across a plain, the ground beneath them illustrated with Suprematist stripings of color. It is considered Malevich's only contribution into the pantheon of Soviet art; Malevich intentionally dated the work to 1918, and added the blurb “From the capital of the October Revolution, the Red Cavalry rides to defend the Soviet frontier” on the back.[1][2]
