About the painting
This painting by the Russian Jewish artist Robert Rafailovich Falk combines the brilliant hues of the Fauves, who used color for expressive purposes, and the simplification and structure of the Cubists, whose subjects were analyzed, broken up, and reassembled in abstract forms. Falk was a founding member of the Moscow avant-garde artists’ group, Knave of Diamonds, who sought to bring the influence of modern French styles together with the traditions of Russian folk art and popular prints.
