Description
In the composition of "three women on the road" of 1900, Kazimir Malevich transports us to a representation that is enigmatic and rich in artistic content. The work captures three static female figures in a rural environment, intertwining elements of traditional landscaping with the incipient modernist influences that would mark much of their subsequent work.
The first thing that highlights the observer is the stylized and simplified disposition of women, a characteristic that suggests the strong influence of symbolism and primitivism at the early work of Malevich. The figures are not delineated with a detailed naturalism, but rather adopt more concise and schematic ways, a subtle anticipation of plastic language that would develop in their trajectory towards suprematism.
The color in this piece is equally significant. Malevich makes use of a restricted palette that focuses on terrible and ocher tones, interspersed by red and whites from women's clothing. This chromatic choice not only evokes the land and the peasant environment, but also introduces an atmosphere of serenity and contemplation. The fields in the background extend in horizontal lines that contrast with the verticality of the figures, creating a harmonious visual balance.
The painting suggests an almost meditative stillness. The three women, with their inexpressive faces and relaxed postures, seem immersed in an introspective or spiritual experience. This ambiguity in the narrative allows multiple interpretations, from a simple daily scene to a meditation on the human condition and the future of life.
It is important to consider the historical and personal context of the artist at the time of the creation of this work. At the beginning of the 20th century, Malevich was in a period of intense experimentation and search for their own language. While "three women on the road" does not yet exhibit the radical elements of his subsequent supreme work, such as the famous "black square", he reflects his ability to look beyond the artistic conventions of his time.
Finally, although "three women on the road" may seem a modest work compared to the revolutionary abstract proposals that marked Malevich's career, encapsulates a crucial phase of the artist's development. This painting is not only a testimony of its roots and its connection with Russian earth and culture, but also an early indication of its incessant search for fundamental forms and meanings in art.
