Collage 1919

This 1919 collage by Russian artist Jury Annenkov, titled "Collage," exemplifies the artist's unique style. The artwork is characterized by an abstract composition of geometric shapes and textures juxtaposed with a photograph of a cathedral, creating a sense of dissonance and intrigue. The use of contrasting materials like paper, fabric, and photograph, along with the interplay of light and dark tones, adds depth and visual interest. The collage's disjointed arrangement of elements reflects the fragmented nature of modern life in the aftermath of World War I, capturing the anxieties and disillusionment of the time.
