Four people in a village 1921

"Four People in a Village" is a 1921 watercolor painting by Ossip Zadkine, a prominent figure in the Cubist movement. The composition features four figures in a landscape setting, rendered in a geometric and fragmented style characteristic of Cubism. The forms are simplified and broken down into planes and facets, evoking a sense of depth and spatial ambiguity. The muted palette of blues, greens, and browns contributes to the work's somber and introspective mood. Zadkine's unique approach to Cubism, which combines geometric abstraction with an emotional intensity, makes this artwork a powerful example of his artistic vision.
