Couple 1921

"Couple" is a 1921 watercolor painting by the Russian-French sculptor and painter Ossip Zadkine. The artwork depicts two stylized figures, likely a man and a woman, rendered in a cubist style, with fragmented forms and geometric shapes. The painting exhibits Zadkine's signature use of bold colors and expressive lines, creating a sense of depth and emotion. The figure on the right, likely the woman, has a decorative patterned fabric covering her shoulder, adding a decorative element to the composition. Zadkine’s Cubist style, evident in his use of fragmented forms and geometric shapes, demonstrates his affinity for the art movements of his time, making it an important piece for studying modern art history.
