Description
Contemplating "suprematist composition (combined feeling: circle and square)" of 1927 is to enter the very essence of suprematism, movement founded by Kazimir Malevich in the 1910s. This particular work, which is exhibited as a gesture of synthesis and geometric purity , embodies the fundamental ideals of the supremacy of pure and abstract sensitivity about objective reality.
In a first look, the composition reveals a dominant black circle and a red square, almost in a dynamic balance inside the canvas. This balance is not such because of its formal symmetry, but because of the tension and the relationship between geometric shapes. The circle and the square dialogue, projecting a "combined feeling" that transcends the mere physical description of the figures.
The choice of color is not arbitrary. Black, in particular, symbolizes in Malevich's work the void and the absolute, stripping the figure of its earthly weight and raising it to a more conceptual plane. On the other hand, the vigorous red of the square acts as a vibrant counterpoint, perhaps an allusion to revolutionary energy and dynamism that the artist valued so much. These colors, combined precisely, generate a visual and emotional tension that invites the viewer to reflect on the interdependence of shapes and their meanings.
Malevich, a visionary of abstract art, struggled to release the painting from the weight of representation. In this work, its continuous effort is clearly perceived to reduce the shape and color to its most basic components, eliminating any mimetic indication. What remains is a pure presentation of feelings, concepts and sensations, devoid of any figurative interpretation.
It is important to contextualize this piece within the development of suprematism and Malevich's own artistic journey. Having revolutionized art with iconic works such as "Black Square" in 1915, Malevich continued to explore the possibilities of space and form in its subsequent compositions. In "suprematist composition (combined feeling: circle and square)", there is a refinement in its visual language and a commitment to simplicity and clarity.
Although this work, in particular, does not present characters, its strength lies precisely in its absence, allowing the viewer to project his own emotions and meanings on forms. In one sense, the characters of this painting are the forms itself and its internal relationships.
Finally, it is valuable to highlight how Malevich has influenced generations of later artists, establishing a starting point for numerous movements and styles in modern and contemporary art. His obsession with artistic purity and his radically abstract approach constantly challenge the viewer to reconsider what is essential in a painting.
"Supreme composition (combined feeling: circle and square)" is more than a combination of geometric figures; It is a deep statement about pure emotion, perception and intimate connection between forms and space. Malevich urges us to look beyond the observable and to connect with the ineffable, constantly reminding us that true art is in the intangible: in the combined feeling of its most essential elements.
