At the Waterside 1917

"At the Waterside" (1917) by Czech artist Josef Čapek (1887-1945), exemplifies the Cubist movement. The artwork captures a simplified landscape with geometric shapes and fragmented forms, using flat planes of color to depict trees, a small house, and a red boat on the water. The artist's use of angular forms and overlapping planes creates a sense of depth and spatial ambiguity, characteristic of Cubism.
