Description
The work "October. Landscape. Formula - 1921" by Pavel Filonov emerges as a vibrant testimony of the artist's commitment to the so -called "analytical formulation", a methodology that he himself developed. Filonov, known for its unique style that intertwines symbolism and a thorough attention to detail, is positioned as one of the most enigmatic and radical referents of Russian avant -garde art of the twentieth century.
At first glance, paint has a chaotic but intricately structured abstract landscape. Filonov uses a laborious technique, in which each component of the work seems to have been built thoroughly from small geometric fragments. The general structure suggests a puzzle of interconnected forms, a dense network of organic and artificial elements that are amalgamated in an almost mystical totality. The predominant colors, a range of ocher, green and red red, evoke the seasonal transition of autumn, capturing the ethos of October and, perhaps, insinuating a transformation of both nature and the human spirit.
In the visual center of the work, stylized human figures emerge almost spectrally, merging with its surroundings. It is not immediately to discern each figure, because they are in symbiosis with the textural amalgam, which induces the viewer to a prolonged contemplation to unravel the enigmas of the painting. This almost chameleonic aspect of the figures suggests a philosophical vision of Filonov about humanity: inextricably integrated with nature and the universe.
The detail of the work suggests an obsessive meticulousness, a distinctive characteristic of the Filonov analytical method. This method, which deliberately departs from the most popular European abstract current, focuses on the decomposition and recomposition of elements, thus offering an almost infinite depth to the individual components of the painting. In this sense, each small figure or fragment of color becomes a microcosm, a "formula" that contributes to the macrocosm that is the work in its entirety.
The "formula" in the title of the painting also invites a deeper reflection on the mathematical and almost scientific function of the work. Filonov saw art as a science, where each brushstroke, each line and every chromatic combination had an exact purpose and a predestined place in the whole. This art idea as science culminates in "October. Landscape. Formula - 1921", where visual complexity is not only an aesthetic pleasure, but also an intellectual challenge.
The Filonov technique, its fusion of human figures with elements that seem to represent the earth itself, the use of an autumnal palette and the creation of an intricate visual network, converge to offer a meditation on the interconnection of all things. The work invites us to unravel its layers, to look for the proverbial thread that unites each fragment, and to reflect on our own position in the vast and interconnected tapestry of the universe.
In summary, "October. Landscape. Formula - 1921" by Pavel Filonov is not just a painting; It is a prism through which we can explore concepts of humanity, nature, science and mysticism, all gathered in the impenetrable and captivating complexity of its art.
