More about this artwork
This exquisite piece, "Figurálna kompozícia," crafted by Konštantín Bauer between 1924 and 1927, stands as a striking example of early 20th-century European art. The artwork showcases two elegantly dressed female figures portrayed in a simplistic yet expressive style. The figures, adorned in stylish outfits that suggest a flair of the 1920s fashion, exude a sense of grace and presence, with their poised stances and distinct, angular silhouettes.The artist employs a minimalist ink sketch technique on a textured paper background, which beautifully highlights the subtle details of the figures' attire and facial features. Notably, the use of sharp lines and contrasting light and dark ink strokes captures the lightness of the fabric and the contours of their dresses, enhancing their sophisticated and avant-garde appearance.The backdrop is straightforward and unobtrusive, featuring a delicate plant and a horizon line, which draws attention directly to the subjects. This simplicity serves to foreground the figures, emphasizing their modern and forward-thinking demeanor.
