Landscape 1917

"Landscape" (1917) by Jean Metzinger is a prime example of Cubist art. The painting showcases the fragmentation of objects and the overlapping of planes, characteristic of Cubist style. Metzinger, a prominent figure in the Cubist movement, uses vibrant colors and bold geometric shapes to depict a seemingly abstract landscape. Despite its abstraction, the composition hints at a traditional landscape scene with elements like a tree, houses, and sky. The artwork's dynamism and playful use of form invite the viewer to engage with the complex interplay of shapes and colors.
