Man with a Red Kerchief 1922

"Man with a Red Kerchief," painted in 1922 by Roger de La Fresnaye, is a prime example of Cubist portraiture. The work is characterized by its geometric shapes, fragmented forms, and bold color palette. The artist breaks down the subject's face into distinct planes and angles, creating a sense of depth and dynamism. The red kerchief, a prominent feature of the composition, adds a vibrant splash of color against the muted background tones. La Fresnaye's painting reflects the artistic innovations of the early 20th century and his unique Cubist style.
