Děvče v červeném klobouku 1915

"Děvče v červeném klobouku" (Girl in a Red Hat) was painted by Josef Capek in 1915. The painting features a stylized portrait of a woman with simplified features and a bold red and black hat, set against a contrasting emerald green background. This piece showcases the Cubist aesthetic popularized by Capek’s brother, the painter and writer Karel Čapek. The influence of Cubism is evident in the fragmented geometric forms, flat planes of color, and simplified representation of the subject, reflecting the artistic innovations of the early 20th century.
