Girl Reading 1924

"Girl Reading" (1924) by Georges Valmier is a Cubist artwork featuring a simplified figure of a woman reading. Valmier, who was part of the French avant-garde in the 1920s, breaks down the figure into geometric shapes and planes, emphasizing the flatness of the canvas and the interplay of color and form. The use of bold, saturated colors, such as pink, green, and blue, creates a sense of dynamism and abstraction. The simplified form of the girl and the reduction of the scene to its essential elements highlight the Cubist approach to representation.
