'Seated Woman' is a powerful manifestation of the early-20th-century avant-garde art movement, Cubism. The painting depicts a woman seated in a semi-abstract style, with fragmented, geometric forms showcasing the multiple viewpoints of Cubism. Created on a large Canvas, the artwork employs the vibrant colours characteristic of Fauvism. The subject matter hints at Nude painting (nu), presenting the woman in a state of undress, though abstracted. The medium of choice for this impactful piece is Oil, adding depth and texture to the painting. This artwork perfectly encapsulates the revolutionary spirit of Cubism.
