About the piece

Created in 1913, 'Married Life' is a seminal work by French artist Roger de La Fresnaye, demonstrating his unique transition from decorative cubism to more structured, geometric abstraction. The scene captures a domestic interior where a man and a reclining nude figure are integrated into a complex arrangement of angular planes, books, and household objects, rendered in a sophisticated palette of ochre, emerald, and deep charcoal.
