Description
Kazimir Malevich, one of the most prominent figures of abstract and founder of suprematism, has left a unparalleled artistic legacy that is still the object of study and admiration worldwide. One of his most intriguing works, "musical instrument" of 1913, invites us to explore the depth and innovation of his style in a decisive period of his career.
The painting "musical instrument" dates from an era in which Malevich still experienced with Cubism and futurism, before making the definitive leap to its iconic suprematist style. On the canvas, a characteristic fragmentation of the shape and space can be observed, where the components of a musical instrument, apparently a guitar, are broken down into a series of geometric planes and dissonant curves. This deconstruction not only challenges the conventional perception of the object, but also opens a door towards a new artistic understanding where representation is subordinated to perception and pure emotion.
The use of color in "musical instrument" is equally significant. Malevich uses a vibrant palette that includes tones of blue, brown, black and ocher, contrasted with white areas that provide a feeling of depth and dynamism. These colors not only define the contours and shapes of the decomposed instrument, but also create a visual harmony that captures the viewer's attention and guides it through the composition. Through its use of color, Malevich manages to confer to the work an almost musical quality, evoking auditory sensations as well as visuals.
The interaction between geometric shapes and curves in the work resonates with a visual rhythm that could be interpreted as a graphic score. The guitar, although dissolved in its essential components, still maintains a recognizable structure that reflects the cubist approach of its time. However, the influence of futurism is evident in the way in which these forms seem to move and vibrate, encapsulating the dynamism of modern life and speed, central themes for futurists.
It is interesting to note that Malevich is still an analytical method in its decomposition of the object, which could be influenced by its interest in the philosophical and mathematical theories of the time. This analytical approach, however, is far from being cold or mechanical; On the contrary, there is an emotional warmth and underlying energy that encourage the work, characteristics that Malevich would lead to its cusp in its subsequent suprematist compositions.
Musical instrument not only offers a window to the transitional and experimental period of Malevich before establishing its suprematist language, but also reflects the diverse influences and the tireless search of the artist for transcending the traditional limitations of pictorial representation. Despite the present abstraction, the painting retains an emotional connectivity that invites the viewer to a deep reflection.
Kazimir Malevich, through this work, reminds us of the ability of art to renew our perception of the world, constantly challenging our expectations and encouraging us to see beyond the obvious. The painting stands out, not only as a masterpiece in itself, but also as a testimony of the unstoppable innovative impulse of one of the great geniuses of modern art.
