"Decor Sketches for the Opera 'Victory Over the Sun'" refers to a series of stage designs and costumes created by the Russian avant-garde artist Kazimir Severinovich Malevich (1879–1935) for the Futurist opera "Victory Over the Sun." The opera, with a libretto written by Aleksei Kruchenykh and Velimir Khlebnikov, and music composed by Mikhail Matyushin, premiered in 1913 in Saint Petersburg. It is considered a milestone in Russian Futurism and a precursor to Malevich's development of Suprematism, an art movement focused on basic geometric forms and a limited range of colors.

Malevich's sketches for the opera are significant for their break from traditional stage design and their embodiment of the Futurist desire to reject the old and celebrate the new and industrial. The designs are characterized by abstract geometric shapes and a bold use of color, which were intended to create a sense of dynamism and to mirror the opera's themes of technological triumph and the overthrow of the old order by the new.

The opera itself is notable for its nonsensical lyrics and plot, which centers on a group of characters who capture the sun and lock it in a concrete box, symbolizing the victory of man over nature through technology. Malevich's designs complement this theme by using abstract forms to represent the characters and their costumes, thereby removing any traditional narrative or representational elements from the stage.

Malevich's work on "Victory Over the Sun" is often cited as a key moment in his artistic development, as it allowed him to explore and express his burgeoning interest in abstraction and non-objective art. The sketches not only contributed to the overall impact of the opera but also foreshadowed his later work, including his famous "Black Square" painting, which became a central symbol of Suprematism.

Today, Malevich's decor sketches for "Victory Over the Sun" are held in high regard as an early example of abstract art influencing theatrical design and are studied for their historical significance and their role in the evolution of modern art. They remain a testament to Malevich's innovative spirit and his contributions to the avant-garde movements of the early 20th century.
