CHAGALL, MALEVICH & MORE IN MADRID
Until 5 May 2019
View classics of #ArteRevolución, including from the great collection of the #russianmuseum #StPetersburg. Plus the amazing #costakis collection.
A▫️MARC CHAGALL
.
'The father of Surrealism' according to Andre Breton. You get the opportunity to look closely at Marc's work, including his time in #vitebsk #belarus (▶️2).
.
B▫️BRIEF TRAJECTORY OF MALEVICH (▶️1,3-8 & 10)▫️
.
Founder of Suprematism, the first conscious non-objective art style, based on shape and colour.
.
Get to see his earlier #Fauvist red self-portrait (▶️3▫️1909). His #Cubist portrait of Ivan Kliun (▶️4▫️1913). Intense colour followed by analysis of form.
.
Malevich turned a corner. He combined the extremes of colour and form. With a dialetical explosion he arrived at 'The Black Square' in 1915. That is his gift to the world. One day the world will receive his genius gift. 104 years is too soon for most people to comprehend its genius.
.
View his larger rework of the Black Square (▶️5▫️C. 1920-23 ▫️79.5 x 79.5cm), the starting point of his new art, followed by the Black Cross and Black Circle (▶️1, 5-7). From these starting points he quickly expanded forms, colours with movement to create Dynamic Suprematism (▶️8▫️1916).
.
He gave up painting as 'the thing' in 1919, concentrating on writing, teaching, architectural concepts and more. The reworks of 'The Black Square' , 'Black Cross' and 'Black Circle' are at the route of his pedagogical system. Today, they are viewed as autonomous art.
.
Kazimir went back to painting from 1927, mixing Suprematism in portraits and landscapes (▶️10).
.
C▫️MORE OF THE RUSSIAN AVANT GARDE▫️.
.
Other artists on display, include Liubov Popova (▶️9), Rozanova, Goncharova and more.
I have booked my flight for April to see some old friends I photographed in #Malaga (▶️1, 2-8 & 10), #Brussels (▶️2) and #Thessaloniki (▶️o). Plus some new ones to look at very closely.

KAZIMIR MALEVICH'S CLASSIC IN LONDON - A CLOSE-UP PHOTO ESSAY
DYNAMIC SUPREMATISM
1916▫️80 x 80cm ▫️Oil on canvas
(Verso in Malevich's handwriting: "Supremus no.57. 1916").
.
A▫️INSIGHT INTO TECHNIQUE
1▫️White base paint applied with florid brush strokes (▶️2-3) to prime the canvas, which illuminates the added top-layered paint.
.
2▫️Pencilled-lines added for shape (▶️5-9).
.
3▫️Unmixed paint (such as Cobalt Blue ▶️9) combined with subtle colour modulations (▶️2).
.
B▫️PERSONAL ELATION & ANXIETY IN 1916
From 1915, the elation of inventing and showcasing the first fully abstract painting style. He called this Suprematism (= most high), based on shape and colour. Anxiety as he has now been called-up as a soldier in the barbaric First World War. Would he be alive in 1917?
.
C▫️RUSHED EXECUTION
Spot his pencilled guide-lines and the canvas surfacing (▶️2, 5-8). This painting profoundly extends his starting point of new art, his genius Black Square. This is MALEVICH at his most creative and intuitive.
.
D▫️DIAGONAL DIVIDERS
Originating from Cubism, as an analytical painting device to slice the object, the Supremus 50 series used the diagonal axis as an organiser. The centred grey triangle provides a complex pointed arranger for form and colour.
E▫️FRAGILE EQUILIBRIUM
The centred grey triangle provides stability. Dynamism added with three pointed clusters of shapes. Here using a widened and softer colour palette than in 1915
F▫️ONE OF THE MANY RUSSIAN AVANT GARDES
From the golden generation. Despite similar themes as #Chagall (in last post), with large area of white, diagonal divider and geometric shape, Malevich foreclosed on the object from real life. He went his own way.
.
G▫️1932
Part of Malevich's last public exhibition of painting in St. Petersburg in 1932. This denotes its importance for Malevich, following on from 'The Black Square' ▫️1915.

FANTASTIC RUSSIAN AVANT GARDE EXHIBITION IN MADRID
FROM CHAGALL TO MALEVICH▫️Until 5 May 2019
My visit today of the exhibition, highlighted how #Moscow was the centre of world art innovation from 1915 to the early 1930s. #ArteRevolución indeed. The legacy of the breathtaking art innovation is mind blowing. Despite the world falling apart, from the 1910s to the 1940s.
From 1915, Malevich's Black Square ▶️3 and his Suprematism would be at the centre of it. And it would change art and design.
Including Futurist books designed by Olga #Rozanova in 1916 ▶️2.
A circle would be flooded by light by Ivan #Kliun ▶️ 1 and 3▫️1923.
.
A simple off-centred black circle on a white background, by Malevich ▶️ 3, still challenges us. How uncanny. How edgy. Literally edgy. © @flommus. A revolution for the mind. No more unnecessary destructive wars ever again. A higher state of consciousness for the new human. New art for a new world, with a new mind-set.
Alexandra #Ekster would join in, her way ▶️4. So would Alexander #Rodchenko ▶️5. Liubov #Popova ▶️6 did it her way. These three, and others, ended easel painting in 1921. To join forces in strengthening production of the depleted industrial base.
.
Malevich was impatient. He dreamed bigger. A huge vision. From 1923-26, Malevich designed future architectural models for the future Socialist planet. He called them Architectons ▶️7. Stalin came and #Malevich's great experiment was foreclosed. His laboratory in #stpetersburg was closed down in 1926. Or 'monastery' as it was called in Pravda.
.
Malevich was not the only one grappling with full abstraction in the 1910s. So was Larionov and Natalia #Goncharova from 1913 ▶️8. Vasilly #Kandinsky from 1911 ▶️9. Marc #Chagall would never get to it. He dreamed another way. The father of #Surrealism. But he was influenced by it, in those heady radical times ▶️10▫️1915.
Tell me your favourite in the comments below.

More gems of the golden generation to come.

I've been really busy painting in the studio all week, but I did manage to briefly grab a few minutes of abstract design practice the other morning. #deconstructivism #modernbritishart #malevich #cubism #constructivism #suprematism #avantgarde #contemporaryart #representationalart #malevich #artadvisory #newprecisionism #modernart #reductive #minimalism #geometricabstraction #structurism #britishart #neoplasticism #architecture #damienhirst #realism #destijl #bauhaus #abstractart
