Description
The artistic domain of El Lissitzky manifests itself in his work "flying sun" of 1916, a painting that challenges both the connoisseurs of art and casual observers. When addressing this piece, it is evident that the author's intention is not only to create an image, but also decompose and reimagine the shapes and colors in a way that defies the conventional norms of the art of his time.
The composition of the painting focuses on a prominent red circle, which radiates unmistakable energy and dynamism. This circle, which can be interpreted as the "flying sun", is positioned against a mostly dark and earthly background, evoking a contrast that is both aesthetic and symbolic. The use of dark tones in the background not only highlights the central figure but also suggests a depth and enigma that encourages reflection on the relationship between light and shadow, between the known and hidden.
The Lissitzky, precursor of constructivism and suprematism along with his contemporary Kazimir Malevich, employs in this work a geometric and abstract visual language that allows a more direct and emotional relationship with the viewer. There are no characters in this composition, which is characteristic of his work in which the figurative representation is sought to focus on pure shapes and colors. The red circle on a dark background could symbolize both a cosmic entity and an abstract idea of movement and energy.
In "Flying sun," the Lissitzky not only demonstrates its ability to manipulate color and shape, but also its immersion in the artistic currents of the time that sought to break with the preceding traditions. The choice of red color, in particular, highlights powerfully, perhaps evoking life, revolution, or a universal force. This chromatic decision is not accidental; In his career, the author frequently used red to get attention and cause an immediate emotional response.
What we see in "Flying Sun" is a work that, despite its apparent simplicity, is loaded with meanings and opens multiple interpretation. The lack of concrete narrative elements sets attention to a purely aesthetic experience, inviting us to understand art as a manifestation of ideas and emotions rather than a mere representation of observable reality.
The Lissitzky's "Sol flying" invites viewers not only to observe, but also to participate in a deeper contemplation about the role of art in human experience. It is a will to its ability to transcend temporary and spatial barriers, offering a piece that remains relevant and provocative more than a century after its creation.
