Description
The work "Suprematism - 1917" by the Soviet artist Kazimir Malevich is one of the fundamental and representative pieces of the Supreme Movement, an artistic current whose main objective was to focus on the supremacy of pure and abstracted artistic sensitivity of objective reality. Malevich, an indispensable pioneer and theoretical of this current, sought with this piece, as with many others from its production, freeing itself from the burden of figuration and any type of reference to objects of the natural world.
In a visual inspection of the painting "Supremeism - 1917," we are faced with an intricate balance of geometric shapes and a limited but powerful color palette in its impact. The composition is a clear reflection of the suprematist principles that seek harmony and expressiveness through geometric purity and color. In this work, Malevich uses a fragmented arrangement of rectangular lines and plans that intersect in various directions, generating a feeling of dynamism and energy contained in the two -dimensional space of the canvas.
The use of color is characteristic of the suprematist plastic vocabulary: flat and primary tones predominate such as black, white, red and yellow, each interacting with others in a vibrant and essentially symbolic way. White background acts as an infinite, potentially universal emptiness, in which geometric shapes float without any reference to gravity or traditional perspective. This visual boldness represents Malevich's search for an art that is not representative but rather contemplative and introspective.
It is interesting to notice the total absence of characters or any vestige of figurative representation. This aspect is deliberate and is aligned with the theory of suprematism that Malevich developed in the 1910s, projecting an art that eliminated the recognizable forms and dispensed with the narrative and imitation of nature. The artist wanted to reach what he called "non-objectivity," transmitting sensations and mood purely through the interaction between shapes and colors.
What may initially seem a simple combination of geometric figures, reveals a complexity and compositional rigor when analyzing carefully. The interaction between the figures and the balance of the composition suggest movement and significance, a spiritual elevation that is in the essence of suprematism. The measured and precise implementation of the colors and the angular inclination of some ways grant the work an internal dynamic that can be interpreted as a visual metaphor of change and revolution, recurring themes in the historical context in which Malevich worked, the Russia of early twentieth century.
Kazimir Malevich's legacy and his experiments with suprematism not only marked a milestone in the history of modern art, but also deeply influenced later movements such as constructivism and abstract art in its entirety. "Suprematism - 1917" It stands, therefore, not only as a testimony of the technical mastery and innovative vision of Malevich, but also as a manifestation of a fervent desire to explore the borders of perception and representation in art.
With this work, Malevich invites the viewer to immerse himself in an alternative universe where forms and colors are not simple decorative elements, but powerful expression tools that open an infinite range of interpretations and feelings. It is, without a doubt, a work that arouses prolonged contemplation and reflection on the very nature of art and its transformative capacity.
