The paintings of Ukrainian artist Alexander Bogomazov are among the most sophisticated works of Cubo-Futurism, an avant-garde art movement that flourished in Eastern Europe at the beginning of the 20th century. The period in which the present work was made is pivotal in the artist's life, both personally and professionally. In 1913, Bogomazov married his fellow artist, muse and loyal partner Wanda Monastirskaja, who preserved his work and archive after his early death from tuberculosis. In 1914, together with Alexandra Exter, he organized the exhibition "Kol'tso" (Ring), an important exhibition of Cubo-Futurism in Kiev, where Bogomazov showed no fewer than 88 works and received considerable praise. In the same year, the artist completed his theoretical treatise "Painting and Elements", a detailed analysis of the creation and perception of art and its development through art movements.
Bogomazov interpreted avant-garde art movements in his own personal way, softening the rigor of Cubism in his works but simultaneously honoring the Futurist pathos of dynamism.
In "View from the window" the artist transforms a banal urban scene viewed through an open window into an exhilarating private experience of light, colors and shapes. For Bogomazov, the viewer is essential because he deconstructs an artist's conception and only through his impression transforms the work into a work of art. In "View from the window" Bogomazov invites us to look through his eyes and share his delight in the artistic interpretation of an everday reality. A central concern for Bogomazov is the transformation of the mundane in his paintings.
It is wonderful to see how carefully the artist has constructed the composition of the present work to ensure that harmony is created between lines, shapes and colors. So the curved outlines of the curtains reflect the round clouds in the sky, the blue stripes on the windowsill the paneled walls of the wooden house, and the yellow street the houses in the background. The painting is a reverberant expression of Bogomazov's programmatic statement: "Art is the perfect rhythm of the elements that compose it. The painter is a sensitive resonator who reveals their pictorial difference."
