Scheherazade 1915

"Scheherazade" is a 1915 painting by American artist Henry Lyman Saÿen, known for his bold use of color and geometric shapes. This abstract work, likely influenced by Cubism and Expressionism, features vivid hues of blue, green, yellow, and red, arranged in angular blocks and curves. The composition suggests a landscape, possibly with buildings or trees, but its fragmented form evokes a dreamlike atmosphere, capturing the essence of the story of Scheherazade and its fantastical elements.
