Castor and Pollux 1922

"Castor and Pollux" (1922) by Roger de La Fresnaye is a Cubist painting characterized by geometric shapes and fragmented forms. The artwork depicts the two titular figures, Castor and Pollux, in a dynamic composition where their faces are broken down into angular planes and their bodies are partially obscured. The painting's use of bold colors and flattened perspective is typical of Cubism, creating a sense of depth and movement within a restricted space. De La Fresnaye's work, like this painting, is known for its blend of classical and modern influences, bringing a unique perspective to the Cubist movement.
