Execution (After 1905) 1913

"Execution (After 1905)" is a 1913 artwork by Russian painter Pavel Filonov, known for his contributions to the avant-garde movement. The painting depicts a chaotic scene filled with figures, animals, and geometric forms, creating a dense, layered composition. The figures are rendered in a stark, simplified style, with elongated limbs and stylized features. The artwork's fragmented and distorted forms reflect Filonov's interest in Cubism and his rejection of traditional representational art. The painting's title and subject matter suggest a powerful and unsettling message about violence and suffering.
