Spherical portrait - Hindu woman 1943

"Spherical Portrait - Hindu Woman" (1943) by Boleslas Biegas is a striking example of Cubist portraiture. Biegas, a Polish artist known for his experimentation with geometric forms, utilizes vibrant colors and overlapping planes to create a fragmented yet unified representation of the subject. The woman's face, rendered in shades of brown and white, emerges from a swirling vortex of brightly colored shapes, suggesting both a sense of depth and an abstract, almost spiritual essence. This unique approach to portraiture demonstrates Biegas's mastery of Cubism while adding his own personal interpretation to the genre.
