Description
The work "Haymaking" (manufacture of hay) of 1929, made by the famous Russian artist Kazimir Malevich, is revealed as a unique testimony of the artistic evolution that the painter experienced throughout his career. Stormly known for being the pioneer of suprematism, an artistic movement focused on geometric abstraction and the use of pure color, Malevich shows in this work a more figurative but no less structured and meticulously composed facet.
In "Haymaking", we observe a bucolic scene, where the daily activity of making hay is captured through a lens that combines modern and traditional elements. The composition is defined by a clear division in color areas and simplified geometric shapes, characteristics that report the artist's supreme inheritance. However, in this painting, Malevich also carries out a kind of reconciliation with tangible reality and the peasant world, a recurring theme in his work during the 1920s.
The characters that appear on the scene, although stylized almost to the point of abstraction, reveal a proximity to work and earth. HEO workers, slender figures and articulated through flat lines and colors, are integrated into the surrounding landscape, a field divided into stripes of ocher and green tones. The simplification of human figures and their disposition in space create a harmonious composition, loaded with dynamism and visual balance.
The color plays an essential role in "Haymaking." In contrast to the previous suprematist works, in this painting, Malevich uses a more earthly and naturalistic palette. The warm and terrible colors of the hay field, along with the soft blue of the sky, provide a serene and evocative context. The Malevich technique, although more figurative at this stage, does not renounce formal purity and purity that always characterized its work.
The most fascinating "hamaking" is how Malevich manages to intertwine its aesthetic principles with a representation of the rural world that, although simplified and stylized, is still emotionally realistic. The work is part of a final stage of its artistic production in which the peasant reasons revalue. This phase is usually interpreted as a return to the roots and a reflection on identity and rural life, issues that acquire a particular resonance in the historical and political context of the Soviet Union of that time.
"Haymaking" stands out not only for its intrinsic value as an artistic piece, but also for what it reveals about the evolution and adaptability of Malevich as an artist. This piece, in the confluence between geometric abstraction and simplified figuration, masterfully illustrates the amplitude and depth of the Legacy of Malevich, a legacy that is still subject to study and admiration in the world of contemporary art.
The painting not only offers us a look at the stylistic and philosophical skill of its creator, but also invites us to reflect on the way in which art can encapsulate and interpret the essence of everyday life. In "Haymaking", the geometric structure and pictorial sensitivity are joined to form a work that is both a celebration of human work and a manifestation of the innovative genius of Kazimir Malevich.
