Description
Kazimir Malevich, one of the Titans of modern art and maximum exponent of suprematism, confronts us in his work "Red Square - 1915" with an apparent simplicity that challenges the perception and understanding of visual reality. This canvas, dominated by a red square, is much more than a mere geometric figure; It is a color manifesto that encapsulates the search for purity in the form and color, distinctive features of suprematism.
The paint has an unpolluted white background, against which a red square displaced to the lower right stands out almost violently. This provision is crucial to understand the intentionality of the artist: asymmetry generates a visual tension that encourages the viewer to question the nature of balance and perfection in art. Malevich invites us to a direct dialogue with the color, devoid of figurative or narrative distractions, because the only "character" in this work is the red color itself.
Through this red square, Malevich shows us his aspiration to achieve the essence of art, stripped of the representation of the physical world. Red, a color loaded with symbolism that can evoke passion, revolution or even danger, transforms here into a self -sufficient entity, an aesthetic absolute that rejects any reference outside of itself.
The white background is not mere support; In suprematist philosophy, white represents cosmic vacuum, infinity and total purity. The contrast between red and white enhances the perception of color, making it vibrate with an intensity that seems to transcend the merely visual to touch the spiritual.
"Red Square - 1915" It arises in a crucial historical and artistic context. In full dawn of the twentieth century, Malevich was immersed in the foundation of suprematism, a movement that advocated the supremacy of pure artistic sensibility. This movement rejected traditional pictorial representation in favor of geometry and abstraction, marking a turning point in art history.
Contemporary works such as "Black Square on White Background" (1915) and "Black Circle" (1915) of Malevich follow a similar logic, where the reduction of the shape and exaltation of color seeks to transmit a universal truth. This abstract, revolutionary language at the time, has proven to be fundamental for the development of modern art, significantly influencing subsequent movements such as constructivism and concrete art.
In "Plaza Roja - 1915", Malevich not only reflects a red square on a white canvas; It challenges us to reconsider our relationship with art, with perception and reality itself. It invites us to travel beyond the tangible, towards a dimension where the shape and color exist in its purest and essential state. This painting It is, in essence, a visual meditation on the infinity of space and color power, a testament of the transforming power of art that continues to resonate more than a century after its creation.
