Two Kneeling Figures 1953

Tamara de Lempicka's "Two Kneeling Figures" (1953) exemplifies the artist's departure from her Art Deco style. The painting, characterized by its Cubist influence, presents a fragmented and geometric approach to human form. The figures are depicted as a series of interlocking shapes, rendered in bold, flat colors, showcasing the impact of Cubism on Lempicka's artistic development. This geometric composition and simplified forms highlight the influence of the Cubist movement, which was popular in the early 20th century. The artwork, despite its departure from her typical aesthetic, still retains Lempicka's signature bold color palette and attention to detail.
