Still Life (with a female head) 1921

"Still Life (with a female head)" painted by Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin in 1921, exemplifies the artist's unique approach to still life. The painting features a bouquet of flowers in a vase, a female head, and a rolled-up cloth, all against a background of vibrant red and white. The subject matter is simple, but Petrov-Vodkin's bold use of color and geometric shapes creates a sense of depth and complexity. The painting is characterized by a combination of realism and symbolism, reflecting the artistic trends of the early 20th century.
