Jack of hearts

Olga Rozanova’s Jack of hearts (c.1912–1915) exemplifies her pioneering approach to Design within the context of early 20th-century avant-garde. Rozanova, a prominent figure in Russian Constructivism and Orphism, employs bold colors and geometric forms characteristic of Cubism to explore abstract symbolism. The title evokes a card game motif, reflecting a conceptual and playful exploration of identity and chance. Her meticulous technique blends flatness and spatial ambiguity, producing a vibrant, dynamic work that embodies innovative Design principles and the experimental spirit of her era.
