Female head 1931

"Female Head" is a 1931 sculpture by Russian-French artist Ossip Zadkine. This work is a powerful example of his Cubist-inspired style, which emphasized geometric forms and fragmented features. The sculpture’s abstract qualities and angularity create a sense of dynamism and energy, showcasing the influence of modern art movements like Cubism on Zadkine’s approach. While the subject is a female figure, the face is simplified and stylized, making it a timeless portrayal of the human form.
