Woman with fish 1934

"Woman with Fish" (1934) by Aleksandra Ekster is a striking example of her signature style, blending Cubist elements with a distinct sense of symbolism. The painting depicts a woman, her form simplified and fragmented, holding a fish in her lap. The background features bold, geometric shapes, creating a dynamic composition that emphasizes the subject's isolation. This work, now housed in the Moscow Museum of Modern Art, showcases Ekster's exploration of the human figure and its interaction with the surrounding world, reflecting the artistic trends of the 1930s.
