Description
Kazimir Malevich, a primary figure of the art of the twentieth century and pioneer of suprematism, presents us in "Bathrooms - 1932" a work that invites to explore the evolution of its style and its return to more figurative forms after its abstract explorations. This painting, made in its last artistic phase, stands out for its striking simplification of forms and distinctive color.
At first glance, "bathers - 1932" is characterized by their human figures that, although schematic, maintain clarity and forceful presence. The two central figures seem to be in a relationship of contrast and harmony at the same time; a more upright with a mode of straight lines, and another more curved and dynamic. This provision not only generates a visual dialogue between the figures, but also opens a window to the contemplation of simplicity and the essence of human form.
The color palette used by Malevich in this painting is equally notable. The bluish and pink tones are contrasted and complemented exquisitely, providing a feeling of serenity and warmth that transcends the mere representation of bathers to the edge of the water. It is interesting to observe how, despite the relative austerity in the number of colors used, it achieves a chromatic depth that seems to vibrate properly. The use of black and white not only ensures a solid base, but also acts as an anchor for the most vibrant colors and allows them to highlight with greater force.
In terms of composition, Malevich remains faithful to its exploration of space, introducing a background that, although simple, suggests a natural environment without resorting to unnecessary details. This media economy, typical of his work, reinforces the idea that the most important thing is not the staunch representation of visible reality, but the essence and perception of it.
It is fascinating to consider "bathers - 1932" within the broader context of Malevich's artistic trajectory. Known mainly for their work in suprematism, where works such as "Black Square" (1915) highlighted, this painting seems to dialogue with its first influences and the complexity of their abstract explorations. Here, Malevich seems to reconcile her search for formal purity with a more recognizable expression in human and mundane terms.
When observing the painting, one must also take into account the historical context in which it was created. By 1932, Malevich had returned to the Soviet Union, a difficult environment for artistic avant -garde due to the dominance of socialist realism. This work can be interpreted, in part, as an answer to the pressures of its time and place, adapting its artistic vision to external demands without completely abandoning its innovative essence.
In conclusion, "bathers - 1932" is not only a work that reflects the idiosyncrasy of Kazimir Malevich and its artistic evolution, but is also a testimony of the persistent exploration of forms and meanings, challenging and expanding the limits of the art of the twentieth century . This painting, with its simplicity that hides a great depth, represents a bridge between the radical abstraction of suprematism and a contained figuration that speaks of the Malevich effort to capture the essence of the human being at the crossroads of history and form.
