City 1927

"City" (1927) by Aleksandra Ekster is a vibrant example of the artist's unique style. It's a depiction of an idealized urban setting, with simplified geometric forms creating an almost architectural feel. The painting employs a limited color palette, focusing on bold hues like blue, red, and yellow, to depict buildings, figures, and trees. The sharp lines and flat planes of the composition are characteristic of Ekster's work, showcasing her connection to the avant-garde movement, especially Cubism, and her experimentation with the principles of form and color. This work captures the dynamism of the modern city through Ekster's signature style, emphasizing geometric structures and a simplified, stylized aesthetic.
