Description
Kazimir Malevich, a distinguished figure of modern art, is mainly known for its impact on the suprematist movement and its experimentation with geometric abstraction. However, his painting "City - 1910" reveals a less known, but equally fascinating aspect of his work, which seems to capture a stylistic and conceptual transition in his artistic career.
In "City - 1910," we are faced with a complex and vibrant composition, where the influence of Cubism is evident. The color palette is rich and relatively saturated, dominated by ocher, green, blue and red tones that, when applied firmly, provide a feeling of vitality and dynamism. Malevich uses a technique that evokes structured and calculated strokes, and at the same time, an almost rhythmic feeling that suggests an intersection between the organic and the mechanical, between the stable and the chaotic.
This work is not content to represent a city realistically, but proposes an interpretation of it through an amalgam of geometric shapes that are intertwined and fragment. The buildings, although recognizable for their volumes and dimensions, are decomposed and reconfigured in juxtaposed planes that challenge the traditional perspective. This formal disintegration is, to a large extent, a reflection of the avant -garde that were emerging in Europe at that time and that sought to explore new forms of perception and representation.
The human presence in this work is ambiguous, almost subliminal. We cannot observe defined human figures, but a certain level of humanity is palpable in the constructions that form a vibrant and full city. The city architecture, devoid of specific details, thus becomes a metaphor of collective human experience, highlighting the symbiotic relationship between the individual and the urban environment.
What is particularly intriguing in "City - 1910" is Malevich's ability to capture a transition moment in his own artistic language. The paint balance a line between representation and abstraction, revealing a malevich that has not yet complete Abstract forms becomes the absolute protagonist of his work.
In this sense, "City - 1910" not only acts as a stylistic bridge, but also as a catalyst that invites us to reflect on the very nature of modernity and fragmentation inherent in urban life. This canvas represents a kind of visual essay where Malevich not only captures noise and movement of city life, but also anticipates the revolutionary direction that contemporary art would take in the following decades.
Through this work, Malevich offers us a testimony of his incessant search for new forms of expression, demonstrating his ability to challenge and innovate within the artistic panorama of his time. "City - 1910" is erected as well as a fundamental piece to understand not only the evolution of Malevich as an artist, but also the development of modern art as a whole.
