Sportovec s červenou hvězdou 1915

"Sportovec s červenou hvězdou" (Athlete with a Red Star) is a 1915 Cubist painting by Czech artist Josef Čapek. The painting utilizes geometric shapes and vivid colors to depict a stylized figure, a stark contrast to traditional figurative artwork of the time. The figure is rendered as a series of flat planes with a prominent red star, a symbol that evokes both a sense of revolution and the burgeoning Czech national identity. Čapek's work often explored themes of modernity and social change. This particular work exemplifies his use of Cubism as a means to visualize the transformation of society.
