Anxiety 1926

"Anxiety" (1926) by Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin is a captivating portrayal of a family scene. The painting features a woman standing by a table, seemingly absorbed in her thoughts, while a man gazes out the window. A young child sleeps soundly in a crib in the background. The muted color palette and somber mood create a sense of unease, reflecting the anxieties of the time. Petrov-Vodkin's signature style, characterized by elongated figures and simplified forms, is evident in this poignant work. "Anxiety" offers a glimpse into the complexities of human emotion and domestic life in the early 20th century.
