Abstract Cubistic Composition 1923

"Abstract Cubistic Composition" (1923) by Anatol Petrytsky is a prime example of Cubist art, a movement that emerged in the early 20th century. Petrytsky's work breaks down the form of the subject, likely a still life, into geometric shapes and planes. The overlapping, fragmented forms and use of muted colors evoke a sense of depth and dynamism while also emphasizing the artist's focus on abstraction. This piece embodies Cubism's central tenet of exploring the fragmented nature of reality through artistic expression.
