The works created by Malevich after 1928 are stylistically heterogeneous. Some are directly related to his paintings of the early 1910s. One such work is Vanka, which also corresponds to another later work, At Harvesting (Marfa and Vanka). In the late 1920s, working on a new means of codifying reality, Malevich returned to a form of lubok expressiveness. The artist''''s later images ,born from memories of his first peasant cycle, embody the bright and agitating colour combinations of lubok and the strict, ponderous rhythms of geometric volumes.
