Kliun was hugely influenced by Kazimir Malevich, passing with him from Cubo-futurism to Suprematism. In his painting Landscape Racing By, the artist tries to convey everything that a passenger sees when looking out the window of a speeding train – the houses, fences, telegraph poles that are seen fleetingly.
The motif of a “landscape racing by” is something the artist initially captured in drawing and painting, but then he moved on to create a “painting that is produced.” He compiles it from pieces of painted wood, real porcelain electricity insulators and wires, forming from all this a Cubo-futuristic sculptural and painted relief. The objects are broken down into geometric forms that are brought together in a complex manner as the artist creates a plastic expression of speed.
