In front of a mirror 1937 - 1938

"In front of a mirror" is a 1937-1938 painting by Slovak artist Mikuláš Galanda, known for his works in the Art Deco and Cubist styles. The artwork depicts a woman, partially nude, with her back facing the viewer and her head turned towards the side, suggesting she is looking into a mirror. Galanda utilizes bold, simplified lines, and vibrant colors, like the stark red face, to emphasize the figure's form and create a sense of movement and depth. This abstract interpretation of the human form, with its focus on form and color, is a key characteristic of the Cubist and Art Deco periods.
