Donna con gatto

1921
Not on view
Questa possente figura di donna nuda, dipinta in grisaille, è formata da sfere, coni e tubi. All’assoluta semplicità della composizione corrisponde la tavolozza limitata di colori: rosso, giallo, nero e bianco. Questo quadro fa parte di una serie di opere che ritraggono figure monumentali di donne, alcune rappresentate mentre leggono, altre mentre bevono il tè, che incarnano lo stile possente dei ritratti dell’artista nel suo periodo “meccanico” tra il 1918 e il 1923.
