Aleksandra Ekster's "Costume design for Salome" (1917) is a vibrant and geometric depiction of a dancer in a theatrical costume. The design features a figure rendered in angular lines and bold colors, echoing the principles of Cubism and Suprematism, artistic movements that emerged in Russia during the early 20th century. The use of flat, contrasting colors, such as red, blue, and yellow, emphasizes the geometric shapes of the figure and the dynamic composition of the artwork. The artwork is housed in the Moscow Museum of Modern Art, a testament to Ekster's lasting influence on Russian art.
