Untitled (boats) 1913

Amadeo de Souza-Cardoso's "Untitled (boats)" is a prime example of Cubist art from 1913. The painting showcases the artist's distinctive style, characterized by the fragmentation of form and the use of geometric shapes. The composition is dominated by a vibrant interplay of colors, particularly earthy tones and bright whites. While depicting boats as the subject, the artist focuses on abstracting the form through geometric shapes, giving a sense of movement and depth to the scene. This fragmented approach to the subject matter is a signature characteristic of the Cubist movement, which aimed to break away from traditional representation.
