Cubist Composition 1920

"Cubist Composition" by David Kakabadzé (1889-1952) exemplifies the artist's exploration of Cubism, a style that fragmented objects into geometric shapes, creating a sense of dynamism and depth. This 1920 painting, now in a private collection, showcases Kakabadzé's use of bold, flat colors and angular forms, creating a dynamic urban scene with buildings and a bridge depicted in a fragmented, abstract manner. The piece's geometric composition and simplified forms are characteristic of the Cubist movement, which aimed to depict the world in a new way, breaking from traditional perspectives.
