Zátiší s nůžkami 1916

"Zátiší s nůžkami" (Still Life with Scissors), painted in 1916 by Czech artist Josef Capek, is a vibrant and fragmented composition. The artwork is a prime example of Cubist aesthetics, which emerged in the early 20th century, with its distinct use of geometric shapes and multiple perspectives. This still life depicts various everyday objects, including a pair of scissors, buttons, thread spools, and a piece of fabric, arranged in a seemingly chaotic yet calculated manner. The bold colors and fragmented forms create a sense of dynamism, inviting the viewer to engage with the painting on a multi-layered level.
