Roddexercis 1917

"Roddexercis", painted in 1917 by Swedish artist Gösta Adrian-Nilsson, is a striking example of Cubism. The composition is dominated by geometric shapes, particularly triangles and circles, creating a fragmented and abstract view of a scene, possibly of ships. This bold use of color and form is characteristic of early 20th-century avant-garde movements, and it invites the viewer to engage with the artwork on a more intellectual level than traditional representational art. The diamond-shaped frame further emphasizes the geometric structure of the piece, highlighting its unique and innovative approach to visual composition.
