Parisian rooftops 1952

Nikos Hadjikyriakos-Ghikas' 1952 painting "Parisian Rooftops" exemplifies Cubist principles through its geometric abstraction of cityscapes. The composition, dominated by angular forms and flat planes of color, evokes the urban landscape, with the rooflines of Parisian buildings fragmented and juxtaposed. The artist’s use of muted, earthy tones and sharp lines creates a sense of depth and perspective, inviting the viewer to explore the intricate details of the city's architecture.
