Still LIfe in front of the Window 1920

"Still Life in front of the Window" is a painting by Louis Marcoussis, a French painter known for his contributions to Cubism and Synthetic Cubism. Created in 1920, this painting exemplifies Marcoussis's style through its geometric forms and fragmented perspective. The composition features a still life arrangement of fruit and a guitar, set against a window overlooking a cityscape with a setting sun. The fragmented elements of the scene, including the geometrically simplified objects and the abstracted cityscape, are characteristic of Cubist art, where reality is broken down and reassembled in a unique way. The painting evokes a sense of modernity and urban life, while the bold colors and geometric shapes add a sense of visual dynamism.
