The red wooden spoon is very clear depicted in the painting ‘Englishman in Moscow’

 

At the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam a large exhibition is devoted to the work of the Russian avant-garde pioneer Kazimir Malevich (1879–1935). The exhibition is worth taking a look. But the best of all: A red spoon brooch played a strong part in the live of Kazimir Malevich.

First appearance of the red spoon brooch

In 1914, together with Morgunov, Malevich held a Futurist demonstration on Kuznetsky Most in Moscow. There he introduced his first ism: Februarism. During the proclamation, both men have red wooden spoons attached to the lapels of their coats which, together with the motif of a saw, became the emblem of his new movement.

It is no coincidence that both the spoon and the saw occupy a prominent place in the painting An Englishman in Moscow of that same year.

At the Malevich dacha (second house in the country) around 1915. Centre, with pipe: Vladimir Tatlin. Behind him: Ivan Klyun, on the right, Malevich and his second wife Sofia Rafakwich.

In 1915 the brooch appeared again. At the opening of The First Futurist Exhibition of Paintings all the exhibitors – Olga Rozanova, Aleksei Morgunov, Liubov Popova, Vladimir Tatlin, Nadezhda Udaltsova, Alexandra Exter – wear red wooden spoons.

“The purpose of the spoon is stirring, so what is underneath comes up and the other way around.”

Brooches during the opening

When browsing through the pictures of the opening from the exhibition I noticed a lot of similar brooches. It looked very unusual: those stylish neat looking men and women with a large brooch. When looking closer I noticed that it was exactly the same brooch. How was this possible? The search for the mystery of the red wooden spoon brooch began and it ended with the painting shown above.

Yet more proof that brooches play an important role in history!

    has been discussed for years. Great stuff, just wonderful!

    I think everything published made a great deal of sense. However,
    consider this, what if you added a little content? I ain’t
    saying your content isn’t solid, but suppose you added a title to maybe grab
    people’s attention? I mean Kazimir Malevich and his Red Spoon Brooch is a
    little boring. You ought to glance at Yahoo’s home page and see how they create article titles to grab viewers interested.

    You might add a video or a picture or two to get readers
    excited about everything’ve got to say. In my
    opinion, it might make your blog a little bit more interesting.
