Daughter in a Rocker 1917 - 1918

"Daughter in a Rocker" is a Cubist work by American artist Henry Lyman Saÿen, painted around 1917-1918. It depicts a young woman in a rocker, fragmented and geometrically rearranged with bold colors and patterns, reflecting the Cubist movement's emphasis on form and structure over realism. The artwork showcases the artist's exploration of abstract shapes and their interplay with each other, creating a dynamic and visually engaging composition. Saÿen, known for his unique style influenced by Cubism and Fauvism, tragically died in 1918, leaving behind a limited but significant body of work. This painting serves as a testament to his artistic vision and talent.
