Head 1913

Amadeo de Souza-Cardoso's "Head" from 1913 is a bold example of Cubist abstraction. The artwork deconstructs the human form into fragmented geometric shapes, rendered in vibrant hues of red, orange, and yellow. This powerful, expressive style reflects the artist's engagement with the avant-garde movements of the early 20th century. While the subject matter is clearly a head, Cardoso's use of geometric shapes and bold colors emphasizes the abstract nature of the human form, making the artwork a compelling example of Cubist experimentation.
