Enclosures and Broken Branches 1938

"Enclosures and Broken Branches" (1938) by Nikos Hadjikyriakos-Ghikas is a striking example of his signature style. The painting is characterized by bold, geometric shapes and patterns, creating a sense of fragmentation and disorientation. The fragmented landscape, rendered in earthy tones and textured brushstrokes, evokes a feeling of isolation and decay. The prominent use of broken branches and enclosures in the title and composition reflects themes of disruption and confinement, showcasing the artist's exploration of the human condition.
