Description
Kazimir Malevich, one of the most distinguished names of Russian avant -garde and creator of suprematism, presents us in his work "What an accident - 1914" A visual testimony that challenges the traditional conventions of pictorial art of his time. The painting, with its vibrant amalgam of shapes and colors, constitutes a bold exploration of fragmentation and perception.
At first glance, "what an accident - 1914" is a chaotic tapestry of polygons and strokes that seem to collide and overlap with each other, creating a sense of dynamism and controlled disorder. Malevich moves away from the objective representation of the world and immerses us in an abstract area. It uses color as an autonomous language, and each tone from intense reds to the most severe blacks and white contributes to the construction of a visual narrative of confusing accident.
The composition is dominated by a central diagonal that agency a visual division, intensifying the sensation of movement and rupture. Geometric elements, without strictly adhering to recognizable forms, are distributed throughout the canvas, suggestive of disintegrated objects, captured at the moment of impact. The meticulous deployment of rectangles, trapezons and curved lines create a collision effect, emulating the fragmentation that the same title of the work suggests.
The absence of human figures or naturalistic elements in this piece is particularly interesting. Malevich chooses to embrace pure abstraction, where the interaction of colors and shapes plays leading role in offering an unusual aesthetic experience. This choice reinforces its position on art as a vehicle to transmit emotions and concepts beyond the tangible and recognizable.
The historical background in which Malevich produces this work plays an inevitable role in its interpretation. In 1914, few could have guessed the magnitude of the change that the beginning of the First World War would bring to the world, and yet the painting reflects a dislocation, a disconnection of the established norms, even in their own visual structure. Malevich, driven by the search for a new form of expression, headed towards the foundation of suprematism, using art to incite a deep reflection on reality and perception.
"What an accident - 1914" can lead us to contemporary works of other artists who also explored abstraction and fragmentation, such as Italian futurism with their focus on movement and dynamism. Such is the case of the works of Umberto Boccioni, that although different in method, they share with Malevich the ambition to capture a new essence of modernity.
In conclusion, Kazimir Malevich's work stands out for his courage and boldness by entering geometric abstraction. "What an accident - 1914" not only challenges the traditional notions of space and form, but also invites the viewer to reconsider the relationship between the work of art and its meaning. It is a perpetual testimony of the radical and pioneer spirit of the artist, who continues to reverberate in the world of contemporary art.
