Two Nude Female Figures with a Cloth 1921

This 1921 artwork by Ukrainian sculptor and painter Olexandr Archipenko, depicts two nude female figures. The figure on the left stands with a blue and brown geometric pattern behind her. The figure on the right is partially draped in a white cloth. The artist’s use of bold lines and simplified forms emphasizes the abstract elements of the human form. This style, characteristic of Archipenko’s work, is related to the Cubist movement in its attempt to represent multiple perspectives simultaneously.
