Guitar 1915

"Guitar" (1915) by Russian artist Lyubov Popova is a prime example of Cubist art. The painting, which depicts a guitar in a simplified, geometric style, utilizes fragmented shapes and overlapping planes to create a sense of depth and movement. "Guitar" showcases Popova's embrace of the abstract, emphasizing form over realistic representation. The painting's title, "Valse," also suggests the influence of music on her artistic vision, adding a layer of dynamism to the composition. This work highlights Popova's significant contribution to the development of Constructivism, a movement that emphasized functional and geometric forms.
