Florence 1915

"Florence", painted in 1915 by Russian artist Aleksandra Ekster, is a prime example of Cubist art, a movement that emerged in the early 20th century. The painting depicts a city scene with its geometric shapes and bold colors, a style prevalent in Cubist works, highlighting the fragmentation of form and space. The word "Firenze" (Florence in Italian) is prominently displayed, indicating the painting's subject matter. This artistic composition captures the essence of early 20th century modernism with its vibrant use of color and abstract forms, and is a testament to Ekster's unique style, a blend of Cubist influences with personal expression.
