Human head 1923

This bronze sculpture, "Human Head" by Ossip Zadkine, created in 1923, is a powerful example of Cubist sculpture. The simplified, geometric forms and fragmented features reflect the influence of Cubism on Zadkine's work. The head is rendered with a sense of emotional depth, as the eyes seem to gaze intensely outward, and the mouth is slightly open in a thoughtful or perhaps even sorrowful expression. Zadkine's use of bronze gives the piece a sense of weight and solidity, enhancing its expressive impact.
