Malevitj Red square – Painterly realism of a peasant woman i Kazimir Malevich (1879-1935)

Description of the painting "The Red Square" by Kazimir Malevich

This work of art was created by Kazimir Malevich. The painting was created by the artist in the twentieth century, specifically in 1915. On the reverse side you can read the second title of the masterpiece - "Woman in Two Dimensions". Describing the painting, we can say that it consists of a quadrangle painted red, which is located on a white background.

Now you can look at the "Red Square" by visiting the Russian Museum. In 1920, the author of the work of art gave it a second meaning, which stated the approaching revolution.

As for the meaning of the painting, Ksana Blank dared to compare the suprematism of Kazimir Malevich and the work of Leo Tolstoy. In one story by Tolstoy, there is a description of a room where the protagonist is overcome by longing. The room looks like this. The walls of the room are whitewashed white. The space itself had a square shape, which had a very strong effect on the man. Only one window was present, on which a curtain of red was hung. Thus it is believed that the red square symbolizes longing.

Malevich had earlier explained the meaning of his first "Black Square". He was saying that for the author, the square was a feeling, and the white background was the emptiness that hid behind that feeling. In this connection, Xana Blank came to the conclusion that the painting "Red Square" symbolizes the fear of the arrival of imminent death and the fear of emptiness in human life.

Some scholars believe that the red square is a symbol of blood. It has been repeatedly suggested that the described picture carries the fear of the deed and the unrealized. It remains to note the depth of thought invested in his creation, the author, which turned out to be more than relevant at the time of the creation of the world-famous masterpiece.
