More about this artwork
Henri Gaudier-Brzeska's "Head of a Lioness" is a striking example of the artist's distinct approach to the portrayal of animal figures. Created between 1910 and 1915, this drawing captures not only the raw physicality of the lioness but also an essence of its spirit, rendered through bold, expressive strokes.The artwork showcases Gaudier-Brzeska's skill in using minimal yet impactful lines to define the structure and nuances of the animal's face. The lioness is depicted in a subtly abstract manner, focusing on sharp angles and fluid curves that suggest movement and a fierce demeanor. Noticeable is the emphasis on the eyes and the mane, which are conveyed through heavier shading and dynamic lines, infusing life into the sketch."Head of a Lioness" exemplifies the energy and modernity of early 20th-century art, reflecting both the influence of Cubism and the vitality of Expressionism.
