Cubofuturistic composition. Three figures

author

description

Mediums: oil, wood.
Location: private collection.

The picture, by design and even by name, echoes the painting by Nadezhda Udaltsova created in 1913. Three women, one of whom seems to be dancing, are reminiscent of robots due to their appearance made of figures; their magnificent forms and costumes resemble those of oriental beauties. The image composed of small geometric elements resembles a colourful mosaic. The characters placed in a bizarre architectural interior are in a triangular sheaf of yellow light falling from above and making the central part warm. The edges of the picture are drowning in a bluish twilight.
