Description
The painting "Start - 1913" by Kazimir Malevich is revealed as an intriguing piece within the avant -garde art panorama of the twentieth century. Malevich, known for being one of the pioneers of suprematism, presents in this work an example of its stylistic and conceptual transition that would lay the foundations for its future abstract experiments.
Observing the composition of "Start - 1913", we can appreciate a structure that, although it shows collectible elements, such as human figures and everyday objects, already begins to distort and decompose reality. In the center of the work, we find a group of figures whose shapes are composed of an amalgam of colors and diagonal lines. These figures seem immersed in an atmosphere that oscillates between mechanistic and the dreamlike. Malevich uses a bright color palette, challenging everyday perception and evoking a feeling of dynamism and energy.
The use of color in this work is particularly remarkable; Here, Malevich applies primary and secondary colors with daring brands of red, yellow, blue, green and black, contributing to a chromatic vibration that highlights each element on the slightly more off background. The application of color seems to respond more to an emotional and conceptual logic than to a naturalistic representation, a characteristic that would become a distinctive firm of its style.
As for the composition, a strong influence of Cubism and futurism can be noted, schools that were in full boiling during those years. The fragmented geometric shapes and the sensation of movement that emanate from the painting reflect Malevich's interest in capturing the multiplicity of perspectives and the simultaneity of events, characteristics that would subsequently resonate in their development of suprematism. The elements of the work seem to be in a state of constant change, overlapping and causing a perception of depth and dynamism.
It is interesting to note that this painting was made in 1913, a crucial year in Malevich's career. Prior to its complete immersion in abstract art, "beginning - 1913" illustrates the convergence of its exploration with barely recognizable figurations and abstract forms. The work acts as a bridge between its phase of cube-fouturist influences and its future creation of suprematism, which would advocate the purity of perception through basic geometric shapes such as squares and circles.
To fully appreciate "Start - 1913" within the context of Malevich's trajectory, it is useful to consider some of his best known subsequent works, such as "Black Square" (1915) and "White on White" (1918). In these pieces, Malevich has the use of abstraction to its ends, eliminating any reference to identifiable objects and concentrating on pure visual and emotional experience of color and shape.
In sum, "Home - 1913" not only offers a window to the evolutionary process of Kazimir Malevich as an artist, but also invites a reflection on the seemingly infinite directions that art can take when it is released from the ties of mimetic representation. This painting, with its colorful vibrant and dynamic composition, not only marks a milestone in Malevich's career, but also in the history of modern art, indicating the birth of new ways of seeing and feeling the world through art.
