"Flowers and masks" exemplifies Cubism, an innovative early-20th-century movement that transformed visual arts by breaking objects into geometric shapes and multiple perspectives. The painting features a vibrant Still life composition of flowers intertwined with masks, symbolizing themes of identity and perception. The fragmented forms and bold angles typical of Cubism create a dynamic interplay between the natural and the artificial. This artwork not only challenges traditional representations but also reflects the revolutionary spirit of Cubism, which influenced various creative fields such as music, ballet, literature, and architecture.
