Manhufe Landscape c. 1912 - 1913

Amadeo de Souza-Cardoso's "Manhufe Landscape" from c. 1912-1913 is a striking example of early 20th-century Cubist landscape painting. The painting features a simplified, geometric composition with bold colors and shapes, depicting a rural scene with a winding road leading towards a prominent building in the distance. The artist's unique style, influenced by both Cubism and Portuguese folk art, results in a dynamic and expressive portrayal of the landscape, capturing the essence of the natural world through abstract forms and vibrant hues.
