Cubist Composition 1917

"Cubist Composition" by Henry Lyman Saÿen, painted in 1917, is a vibrant example of the Cubist movement. Saÿen, known for his bold use of color and geometric forms, breaks down the subject matter into fragmented shapes and reassembles them in a dynamic composition. The abstract forms, rendered in bold strokes of red, yellow, green, and black, create a sense of depth and movement, characteristic of the Cubist style. The painting showcases Saÿen's exploration of form and space, pushing the boundaries of traditional representation.
