Woman’s head 1930 - 1931

Mikuláš Galanda’s “Woman’s Head” from 1930-1931 is a striking example of figurative art with a Cubist influence. The simplified forms and geometric shapes of the woman’s head are accentuated by the contrasting colors of the background and the single white rose. The flattened perspective, reminiscent of Cubist aesthetics, adds depth and complexity to the composition. The muted color palette of greys and blues gives the painting a sense of solemnity, while the single white rose serves as a powerful symbol of beauty and fragility.
