Description
The painting "Soon - Soon we will be in Krakow - 1914" by Kazimir Malevich represents a crucial phase in the artistic evolution of one of the most influential pioneers of abstraction and modern art in the twentieth century. Made in 1914, this work emerges in the pre-surround period of Malevich, just before the artist develops his iconic suprematism movement, characterized by his emphasis on pure geometry and the absence of figurative representation.
At first glance, "soon - we will soon be in Krakow" presents a remarkable dynamism in its composition, revealing a coherent and carefully balanced intersection between figurative and abstract elements. The canvas demonstrates a rich juxtaposition of geometric shapes and colors that capture almost martial energy, evoking the bustle and, perhaps, anxiety in the context of the prelude to World War I.
As for the chromatic palette, Malevich uses a diverse range of bright and contrasting colors. Vibrant red and yellow stand out and seem to click with emotional intensification, while dark blue and black tones provide a circumspect gravity, creating a sense of depth and complexity. These colors not only hurt the observer's retina, but also play a symbolic role, settling a spectrum of energy and feelings that were discussed on the verge of global conflict.
The composition of the work reveals an almost cubist structuring, where the figures are not immediately recognizable. However, through a more detained inspection, they suggest human forms and objects, perhaps icons of tanks or trains in motion, with an angular and fragmented stylization. This plastic treatment blurs the line between the real and the abstract, motivating the viewer to imagine and interpret the implicit narrative.
In addition, "soon - we will be in Krakow" retains a narrative in its title. The mention of Krakow, a city of relevant political and cultural importance in Central Europe, refers to an anticipation and probably military movement thus reflecting Malevich's dreamlike desire to capture the prevailing concern of his time.
Malevich, a master Visionary, in this painting addresses a convergence between futurism and cubism, exploring how forms and dynamic movement can coexist on the same spatial plane. This premonitory approach that would finally be consolidated in suprematism with its "black square" in 1915, is already palpable here, testifying an artistic mind in full gestation of its aesthetic theory.
In conclusion, "soon - we will soon be in Krakow - 1914" It is not only a pictorial representation but a work loaded with premonitions, urgencies and dynamism that echoes between the hope and imminence of change. Malevich, through this painting, highlights a monumental transition in his career and anticipates a definitive break with visual representation conventions in his incessant search to capture the ineffable in geometric abstraction.
