A horsewoman

"A Horsewoman" exemplifies Crystal Cubism, a refined form of Cubism characterized by a focus on flat surface activity and overlapping geometric planes. Created using gouache on paper, the painting emphasizes a strong geometric structure rooted in abstraction. Its simplified forms and bold planes suggest influences from Naïve art (primitivism), blending elements of genre painting with avant-garde techniques. The composition's emphasis on geometric abstraction transforms familiar motifs into a dynamic exploration of surface and form.
