About the piece

Created in 1914 by the prominent Ukrainian avant-garde artist Alexander Bogomazov, this work is a quintessential example of Cubo-Futurism. The composition deconstructs the human form into a dynamic arrangement of prismatic strokes, using a sophisticated palette of warm earth tones and sharp highlights to create a sense of vibrating energy and structural depth.
