More about this artwork

The painting depicts an unsettling scene within an interior setting. A central figure, likely a woman based on her attire and hairstyle, sits straight-backed on a chair. She wears a coat and a veiled hat, her expression is composed and distant, holding a pair of scissors loosely in one hand. Surrounding her are two chairs positioned back-to-back, casting shadowy forms that merge indistinctly into the darker tones of the background, contributing to the overall somber and ambiguous atmosphere. On the floor, just under the table, a man is slumped over, partially facing the viewer. He appears distressed, with his head bowed towards his knees and hands clasped together or held near his face in a gesture of agony or deep contemplation. There are visible drops, maybe blood, scattered near him on the floor, hinting at violence or injury that has just occurred.

Charles Demuth (1883-1935) was one of the leading artists during the American Modernism era. He was distinguished for intimate watercolors and cubic architectural paintings. Demuth studied art at Académie Julian in Paris, where he was welcomed into the avant-garde art scene and met other American Cubism artists like Marsden Hartley. His watercolor figures have a weightless and surrealistic character with a sensitive linear style, in which he illustrated plays and novels such as Émile Zola's Nana. He also depicted an evolving gay scene of encounters at bath houses through watercolors for his close friends, like the "Turkish Bath", works that now are of great historical significance. Demuth later employed a cubist technique by painting industrial factories with complex structural planes, leading him to becoming a pioneer for the precisionist movement.
