Haycutting 1910

Natalia Goncharova's "Haycutting" from 1910, exemplifies the artist's early embrace of the avant-garde movement. The work features a simplified, almost geometric, depiction of three figures engaged in the laborious task of harvesting hay. The bold colors, flat planes, and distorted forms create a dynamic composition, showcasing Goncharova's exploration of Cubist principles. This painting is an important example of her transition from early Symbolism to a more modern, experimental style.
