Description
Kazimir Malevich, one of the most prominent figures of the art of the twentieth century, leaves us with "costume for the victory over the sun. An attentive worker - 1913" A clear sign of his deep incursion in the universe of avant -garde art. This work, part of the scenery and costumes of the Russian futuristic opera "Victoria on the Sun", illustrates not only Malevich's artistic ability, but also its ability to merge visual art with scenic art, creating a coherent whole that challenges the traditional conventions.
"Victoria over the Sun", released in 1913, is a revolutionary theatrical experiment that brings together authors, composers and artists to challenge the borders of time and space. Malevich, in charge of costumes and the scenery, strives to reflect the futuristic essence of this work, capturing in his "attentive worker" the mixture of practical functions and abstract forms of the time.
When observing the painting, the first thing that highlights is the simplification and geometrization of the human body, characteristic elements of suprematism, a movement founded by Malevich in 1915. The figure of the worker is presented in a monumental and at the same time depersonalized way, where individual details They are suppressed in favor of a more universal and essential representation. The face is absent from distinctive characteristics, which suggests a more symbolic than individual universality and function.
The color palette used by Malevich, dominated by primary and contrasting tones, adds a dynamic energy to the composition. The use of red, black and white not only stands out for its purity and its ability to attract the viewer's gaze, but can also be interpreted as a reference to the revolutionary ideas of that time, showing a clear connection with transformation theories social and energy contained in futurism.
In addition to its role in "Victoria over the Sun", this work is significant for its anticipation of suprematist visual language that Malevich would formalize two years later. Pure geometric shapes and marked contrasts are a clear prefiguration of works such as the famous "black square", and reveal the thought of an artist in the process of purifying his stylistic language.
In "Costume for the victory over the sun. An attentive worker - 1913", Malevich also intervenes with the idea of the dehumanization and mechanization of man. The figure seems like a machine, reduced to its essential functions, reflecting the concerns of the industrial era and the visions of the future of the artists and thinkers of the early twentieth century.
Thus, the work is not only a theatrical costume, but a testament of the vision of a world in transformation. Through his style, composition and color, Kazimir Malevich invites us to contemplate the relationship between art, man and society. The figure of the attentive worker is not only an aesthetic representation, but becomes a symbol of modernity and its complexities, encapsulating both hope and uncertainty of a crucial era in art history.
