About this work

This painting shows a face and a body split into sharp, angular shapes. The colors are mostly black, white, and gray, with some bright red and yellow patches. The background looks like overlapping leaves or petals, also broken into jagged lines. The face is simple but stands out against the busy shapes around it. The artist used bold lines to create a mix of flat colors and shadows. Try looking up analytical cubist next to see how this style breaks things into shapes.
