Fishing Schooner 1914

"Fishing Schooner" (1914) by Pavel Filonov is an example of the artist's analytical cubist style. This painting depicts fishermen and their catch in a fragmented, geometric fashion, with an emphasis on color and form. The work exemplifies Filonov's exploration of the "material world" through artistic means, showcasing his unique approach to depicting everyday life in a stylized and abstract manner. His use of vibrant colors and geometric shapes creates a dynamic and energetic composition, capturing the essence of labor and the natural world. The fragmentation of the figures and the environment, in contrast to the vibrant color palette, creates a unique visual experience for the viewer. "Fishing Schooner" showcases Filonov's distinct style, marked by geometric abstraction and a focus on the everyday world.
