Head 1912

Tadeusz Makowski's 1912 painting, "Head," exemplifies the artist's Cubist style. This portrait is a study in geometric abstraction and is a departure from traditional portraiture. The subject's face is fragmented into planes and angled lines, creating a sense of depth and movement. The use of muted browns and grays emphasizes the fragmented forms and creates a somber, introspective atmosphere. The painting's angular forms and abstract approach demonstrate the influence of Cubism on Makowski's artistic practice. This artwork invites viewers to engage with the fragmented nature of the human form and the artistic possibilities of Cubist techniques.
