Description
In the vast universe of modern art, the work "Victoria over the Sun: there is what begins and has no end" (1913) of The Lissitzky is erected as a vibrant testimony of the experimentation and audacity that characterized Russian avant -garde . This canvas, belonging to one of the most intoxicating moments of the artistic revolution of the twentieth century, stands out not only for its abstract and geometric composition, but also for its conceptual statement.
A visual inspection of the work reveals a duality of shapes and colors that seem to dialogue with each other in an almost cosmic space. Geometric shapes are juxtaposed and intertwined with mathematical precision, typical of suprematism, movement of which Lissitzky was one of the main exponents. In "Victoria on the Sun", the chromatic planes of red, black and white are organized in a way that emphasizes the sense of dynamism and energy. The dark tones, particularly black, acquire a special relevance by abruptly interrupting the extent of more vivid colors, perhaps symbolizing the same "victory over the sun" to which the title refers.
Observing more closely, the work lacks human figures, however, it is loaded with intense symbolic activity. The forms, although abstract, have a communicative force that transcends the figurative representation. The diagonal lines and the strongly positioned rectangular figures invite the viewer to contemplate not only the internal structure of the composition, but also the negative space that these structures leave around them. It is in this void that reside the deepest questions and reflections that the work evokes.
The Lissitzky, whose real name was Lazar Markovich Lissitzky, was a fundamental figure in the spread of the ideals of suprematism and constructivism beyond the Russian borders. His work was not only limited to painting but extended to architecture, typography and scenery, thus demonstrating his holistic vision of art as an integral means for the expression of revolutionary ideas. In this sense, "Victoria over the Sun" is not an isolated work, but part of a corpus that seeks to subvert the classic order and proposes a new visual language in line with modernity and technological innovation.
The influence of The Lissitzky can be appreciated in numerous later artists, who found in their work an example of the abstract art capacity to transmit complex and multifaceted meanings. It is remarkable that "Victory Over The Sun", both in its original scenic version and in this pictorial interpretation, remains an unavoidable reference in the study of avant -garde art.
In conclusion, "Victoria over the Sun: there is what is well begins and has no end" symbolizes the rupture and reconfiguration of traditional artistic canons. The study of this work offers us a window to the innovative mind of El Lissitzky and a deeper understanding of the artistic movements that addressed modernity with a new vision and a new language. This painting is not only a milestone of suprematism, but also an object of continuous speculation and admiration among critics and art lovers.
