Description
Kazimir Malevich, one of the most illustrious names of the Russian and European art of the twentieth century, surprises and moves with his work two driers of 1908. This oil on canvas reveals an early period in the artist's career, long before he developed His suprematist style that would make him famous. But even in this first stage, the strokes of genius and originality that would define their subsequent artistic contributions are glimpsed.
Two driced moves us to a mystical and ethereal universe, dominated by the presence of two female figures that seem to arise from the very heart of nature. The dried, in Greek mythology, are nymphs associated with trees and forests, a connection that Malevich plasma fluently in their work. The bodies of these figures merger organically with the tree environment, highlighting the close relationship between the human and the natural. There are no defined borders; The dried ones seem to be an intrinsic part of the world that surrounds them, as if they were living extensions of the trees.
The composition of the work is structured around a vertical axis, with the elongated figures stretching to the sky, creating a sensation of growth and elevation. This provision suggests a search for transcendence, an aspiration to the divine, the eternal, which fits perfectly with the symbolism of the dried. The colors, predominantly green and ocher, reflect an Earth's palette that evokes nature and its fertility. The sinuous and soft lines of the female bodies and the foliage are intertwined by creating a serene and harmonious visual rhythm.
An outstanding feature of this work is the psychological intensity that Malevich manages to transmit. The dried ones, despite their merger with the landscape, retain an expressiveness in their faces and gestures that suggests a state of reverie or trance. It is as if they were absorbed in an intimate communion with nature, outside the human world. This introspective quality adds a layer of emotional and symbolic depth to the painting, inviting the viewer to reflect on the link between humanity and nature, and the spirituality inherent in this loop.
This early period of Malevich is a testimony of its versatility and ability to move between styles and diverse themes. Before consolidating his suprematism, Malevich explored different artistic currents, including symbolism and fauvism, which are evident in two dried. This work, in particular, shows its ability to translate abstract and mythological concepts into concrete and beautiful visual forms. It is a window to its evolution as an artist and a track of transcendence that would reach later.
Two driced is undoubtedly a jewel within the vast repertoire of Kazimir Malevich. With his mastery in the merger of the figure and background, the exploration of the mythical nature and the expressiveness achieved through color and composition, this work not only stands out for its aesthetic beauty, but also for its ability to cause a deep reflection in The spectator. It is a piece that invites us to contemplate the magic of nature and poetry of the human connection with the natural environment, an issue as relevant today as it was in 1908.
