Description
Kazimir Malevich is a capital figure in the history of the art of the twentieth century, and its painting "Complex feeling: Media Figure with yellow shirt" of 1932 is a work that surprisingly encapsulates many of the artistic and philosophical concerns that marked their career. This painting, with its suggestive title, invites the viewer to explore a world of shapes and colors that contain both mystery and meaning.
The first observation that stands out is the composition of the work. The central figure, a half human figure, dominates the pictorial space with its enigmatic presence. Although the facial features are not detailed, the character of the character, with a head that seems absorbed down and a torso exposed with a bright yellow shirt, expresses an introspection and significant emotional load. The yellow shirt is not just a scholastic element of clothing; It has a communicative purpose, serving as a vibrant focal point that contrast with the most off colors and the terrible tones that predominate in the rest of the canvas. This colored contrast technique is a frequent stylistic resource in Malevich's work, used to direct the viewer's gaze and accent key elements within the composition.
The background of the paint is equally intriguing. It consists of a series of geometric shapes and moderate colors that seem to refer to a landscape but, in turn, challenge visual expectations by not being representational. This choice strongly connects with suprematism, the artistic movement that Malevich founded and fervently promoted. Supremeism was characterized by a series of formal and conceptual innovations, its emphasis on the "supremacy of pure sensitivity" about the traditional representations of the visible world. In "complex feeling", abstract forms and expressive colors create a dense and loaded atmosphere, suggesting that the work goes beyond simple visual representation and penetrates the scope of subjective and emotional experience.
The temporality of this painting is crucial to understand its context. Created in 1932, at a complicated historical situation of Soviet Russia, the work could be seen as a kind of introspective comment on the turbulent times that Malevich and his contemporaries crossed. Although the Soviet regime had become increasingly oppressive with respect to innovative and avant -garde art forms, Malevich persisted in their search for new forms of expression. In this sense, the reflexive figure in the painting can be interpreted as a reflection of the artist's own position: a deep thinker lost between the tensions of an authoritarian environment and his desire to advance the borders of art.
In addition, the painting "complex feeling" can also be seen within the spectrum of similar works of Malevich where the human figure is presented in abstract and fragmented forms. Previous works such as "Campesino Head" or his various representations of peasants and abstract figures show an evolution of his style from figurativism to a more symbolist and geometric type of representation.
Finally, the work "Complex feeling: Media figure with yellow shirt" is a powerful testimony of Kazimir Malevich's artistic legacy. Through its unique composition, masterful use of color and its ability to communicate complex emotional states without resorting to literal representation, Malevich offers us a vision of art as a continuous exploration of human sensitivity. It is a painting that not only looks inside the human soul, but also reflects the tensions and hopes of a turbulent era.
