Violin 1916

"Violin" is a 1916 still life painting by Russian artist Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin (1878-1939). The painting features a violin laid on a wooden floor with its case and sheet music beside it. The simple composition and vibrant colors create a sense of quietude and contemplation, inviting viewers to consider the beauty and power of music. Petrov-Vodkin's use of geometric shapes and simplified forms, characteristic of early 20th-century Russian art, contribute to the painting's striking visual impact.
