Mask. For the Ballet Studio of B.Nizhinskaya 1919

Vadym Meller's 1919 "Mask. For the Ballet Studio of B.Nizhinskaya" is a striking example of the bold and geometric style of early 20th-century art. The artwork depicts a stylized couple in a passionate embrace, their forms rendered in flat planes of vibrant color, creating a sense of dynamic energy and movement. The angular lines and simplified shapes, characteristic of the Cubist and Art Deco influences that defined Meller's style, contribute to a sense of dynamism and modernity, highlighting the movement and expression of the dancers.
