Rest 1912

Tadeusz Makowski's 1912 painting "Rest" depicts a seated nude figure in a cubist style. The artist, known for his explorations of modernism, utilizes fragmented planes and simplified forms to portray the subject. The figure appears to be resting, yet the composition is dynamic and filled with a sense of motion. The muted palette of browns, grays, and whites contributes to the overall sense of quietude and introspection that permeates the work. "Rest" is a testament to Makowski's early engagement with Cubism, a movement that greatly influenced his artistic trajectory.
