description

Mediums: oil, canvas.
Location: The Vilnius Art Museum (Lithuania).

Briefly about the painting: The work in the nude genre includes elements of cubist, futuristic and suprematist manner. This is reflected in the construction of the composition, in the use of geometric details by the artist, and in his desire to depict the movement. The strongly stylized figure of a naked woman turns out to be not only in a complicated pose, but also expresses the dynamics of the whole idea. For mostly large details of the background, the artist chose a contrasting and expressive color gamma, placing the black figure in the upper corner and thereby creating a feeling of closed space.
