Self Portrait Against a Window 1916

"Self Portrait Against a Window" (1916), a work by Russian artist Robert Falk, showcases the artist’s style in a self portrait. The cubist influence in the painting is evident in the broken-down forms and geometric shapes, particularly in the rendering of the artist’s face and the objects behind him. The use of bold, flat colors and the simplified shapes further contribute to the cubist aesthetic, creating a sense of depth and space through flat planes. The composition is also notable, with the artist positioned prominently against a window, which serves as a backdrop for the vibrant still life.
