About the piece

Created in 1915 by Ivan Kliun, a key figure in the Russian Avant-Garde, this work captures the energy of the Cubo-Futurist movement. The artist deconstructs the subject into a sophisticated arrangement of geometric shapes, utilizing a warm palette of rust and ochre balanced by cool greys, resulting in a piece that remains a powerful statement for modern interiors.
