Blecha 1916

"Blecha" is a 1916 work by Czech artist Josef Čapek, known for its bold, simplified forms and evocative use of color. The painting depicts a female figure, rendered in a flattened, almost geometric style, with soft, hazy contours. The figure's pose suggests introspection or contemplation, with her head bowed and her hands clasped. The warm red background creates a sense of intimacy and emotional depth. Čapek's "Blecha" exemplifies his early exploration of Expressionism and its focus on subjective experience and emotional intensity.
