Description
The paint "Girl with Red Flag" of Kazimir Malevich, made in 1933, is erected as an explicit testimony of the artistic and personal evolution of the author, a trip that travels from the radical suprematism towards a more figurative experimentation in its last years . In this work, the inherent tension between its abstract inheritance and the demand for a more tangible representation is perceived in an increasingly oppressive political and social context.
In "Girl with red flag horn", the central figure is a young woman, represented with an almost austere simplicity. The girl holds a red flagpap, a gesture that could well be interpreted as an affirmation of the revolutionary fervor that dominated the time. However, the girl's figure is not exempt from a melancholy air, which could also suggest a reflection on lost ideals or the challenges of modernity.
The composition of the work maintains characteristic geometric elements of suprematism. The girl is framed by rectangular and square forms that organize the space. However, unlike pure supreme compositions, these forms here are not abstract, but contribute to creating a more recognizable scene. It is observed, for example, the use of solid colors and blocks, a direct inheritance of suprematism, but applied to a scene that can be interpreted within the daily Soviet reality.
The color in this painting deserves a particular mention. Malevich uses a palette dominated by the contrast between the warm and cold tones, highlighting the red of the flag against the mostly blue and white background. This contrast not only highlights the central element of the work but also underlines the political symbolism of red color, a color deeply associated with the revolution and socialist movement. The colors in "girl with red flag horn" not only build a visually shocking image but also load the work of meaning.
The environment in which the young woman is placed is enigmatic. The simplicity of the landscape and the sky without details, suggest a depersonalization of the place, a land of anyone, perhaps referring to the universality of the message that Malevich wanted to convey. We are facing an allegory rather than a specific spatial representation.
The transition in Malevich's style at this stage of his career cannot be ignored when "a girl with a red flag" is observed. While its return to figuration is evident, this is not a simple adoption of prevailing socialist realism, but rather an amalgam, a hybrid language that reflects both an internal struggle and an answer to the external pressures of the Stalinist regime.
Malevich, a master of the suprematism whose works seek to transcend the material world towards the purity of feeling and perception, in this painting From 1933 it seems to merge its avant -garde ideals with a need to anchor again to the human figure. "Girl with a red flag horn" is, in short, a work that documes not only the author's artistic period, but also a fragment of history where art and politics are intertwined in an inextricably.
