Description
The painting "reaper - 1913" by Kazimir Malevich stands as a remarkable piece within the artist's corpus, offering a deep look at the stylistic and conceptual transition that characterizes his work at this stage. Malevich, known for its subsequent development of suprematism, already demonstrated an innovative and bold approach, which can be clearly seen in this painting.
Observing "Driving - 1913", it is impossible to ignore the vibrant chromatic palette that Malevich uses with a mastery. The canvas is dominated by the use of bright and contrasting colors: red and yellow shine in the central figure of the reaper, while a deep blue sky establishes a dramatic backdrop. This combination not only adds dynamism to the composition, but also provides a sense of movement and urgency, according to the act of harvesting that is represented.
In the center of the work, the reaper appears as a monumental, robust and simplified figure, which emphasizes its essential task in the agricultural production chain. Malevich prevents detail and instead opts for simplified and geometric forms, which prefigure their subsequent evolution towards abstractionism. The reaper, with his muscular arms and his worked posture, seems to merge with his surroundings, becoming a symbol of work and peasant resistance.
The composition of "reaper - 1913" reveals a careful balance between the figurative and abstract elements. The human figure is in a central position, surrounded by a series of lines and shapes that suggest the agricultural landscape. Malevich uses this approach to break the traditions of naturalistic representation, inviting the observer to focus not only on the subject of painting, but also on subtle interactions between colors and shapes.
This work was created during a particularly fertile period for Malevich, before the formulation of its supreme theory. However, you can see the seeds of what would become its artistic revolution. The simplification of the forms, the abstraction of the elements and the experimentation with the color are indicative of their constant search to transcend conventional representations.
In the context of the Russian art of the time, "Safe - 1913" can also be interpreted as a comment on the role of the peasantry in the pre -revolutionary Russian society. The figure of the reaper represents not only the agricultural work, but also the power and vitality of the peasantry, an issue that will resonate strongly in the following decades of the turbulent Russian history.
Kazimir Malevich, as innovative of modern art, achieved with this painting offers a work that is both a tribute to the figure of the rural worker and a prelude to his deepest exploration of the possibilities of abstract art. "Resector - 1913" Not only captures a moment in time; It also encapsulates the essence of an artistic and philosophical search that would completely transform the course of art in the twentieth century. In the simplicity of its forms and in the intensity of its colors, there is the genesis of a visual revolution that still resonates in our own time.
