A Man in the World 1925

"A Man in the World" (1925) by Pavel Filonov is a striking example of Analytic Cubism, a style characterized by its fragmentation of form and geometric abstraction. The painting is a dense composition of overlapping geometric shapes and fragmented faces, creating a sense of visual disorientation and chaos. This work showcases Filonov’s fascination with the complexity of human existence and the intricate details of the natural world. The use of vibrant colors and bold lines further emphasizes the chaotic energy of the painting, highlighting the artist's interest in the abstract and the metaphysical.
