Description
The work "Sun victory suit: the new man - 1913" by Kazimir Malevich is not only a visual representation, but also a deep expression of the revolutionary ideas that molded art at the beginning of the 20th century. Malevich, a prominent figure of suprematism, was not limited to traditional painting, but extended its artistic vision to performances, theater and every way that could capture and project the new spirit of the time.
This suit was conceived for the futuristic opera "Victoria on the Sun", created in collaboration with the Russian poet Aleksei Kruchenyj and the musician Mifaíl Matiushin and presented for the first time in 1913 in St. Petersburg. Opera itself is a representation of the triumph of man over nature, a resonant theme with the utopian ideas of technological and social progress. The new man, as suggested by the costumes designed by Malevich, is a geometric and abstract entity, which exceeds the limitations and traditional ways of thinking and existing.
As for the composition of the work, "Sun victory suit: the new man", angular lines and shapes that define the structure of the suit are observed, marking a radical break with conventional anthropomorphic representations. The use of color is equally revolutionary, with predominance of red, white and black tones. These chromatic decisions are not arbitrary, but are aligned with Malevich color theory and their contemporaries, who sought an expressive purity in art, releasing the color of their symbolic and natural connotations to transform it into an end into itself.
The image shows a suit designed with clear and defined geometric shapes. Triangles, rectangles and other figures create an almost root or mechanical appearance, which reflects Malevich's vision about the future of the human being: an entity that has transcended the merely organic to embrace a form of superior and more efficient existence.
The suit in question is also a testimony of the influence of Cubism and futurism, movements that deeply impacted Malevich. In its structure and design, a fusion of these currents can be detected, where cubist fragmentation and futuristic dynamization converge to mean and underline the role of man in the new posindustrial era.
In addition to the aesthetic relevance, this suit has a symbolic significance in Malevich's work, anticipating its subsequent development of suprematism. The "Black Square" supreme work marks a milestone in art history and this suit can be considered a preeminent precursor of that search for purity and abstraction that will reach its culmination in later works.
The impact of this work can be traced in a wide range of disciplines, from fashion to design, where Malevich ideas found resonance and practical application. The suit not only represents the "new man" within the context of a futuristic opera, but also anticipates and announces a new era of thought, a preview of the cultural and aesthetic revolution that was about to sweep Europe and the world.
In conclusion, "Sun victory suit: the new man" is much more than a costume piece; It is a declaration of intentions, a bold view of the future and a fundamental link in the evolutionary chain of Kazimir Malevich's work, as well as a reference point in the history of the art of the twentieth century.
