Bridge. Sevres 1912

Aleksandra Ekster's 1912 painting "Bridge. Sevres" exemplifies the Cubist movement with its fragmented forms and geometric planes. The bridge, the focal point of the artwork, is depicted as a series of abstract shapes, creating a sense of depth and perspective. The surrounding cityscape, with its buildings and hills, is similarly stylized, emphasizing the artist's interest in geometric abstraction. The color palette is muted, using shades of grey, brown, and blue to create a sense of solidity and structure. Ekster, a Ukrainian-born artist, was a prominent figure in the Russian avant-garde, and her work reflects the influence of Cubism and other modern art movements.
