Moscow 1913

"Moscow" (1913) by Aristarkh Lentulov is a vibrant and dynamic depiction of the city of Moscow. This Cubo-Futurist masterpiece utilizes bold geometric forms and fragmented perspectives to convey the energy and dynamism of the modern city. The painting's vivid colors and fragmented composition, along with the dynamic interplay of geometric shapes, represent the artist's fascination with the rapid development and modernization of Moscow during the early 20th century. Lentulov's style, often described as "dynamic" and "urban," captures the essence of a city in flux, and his work played a significant role in shaping the future of Russian avant-garde art. Currently housed in the Tretyakov Gallery, "Moscow" is considered a seminal example of Russian Cubo-Futurism.
