ROMANTIC FIGURES 5

Romantic Figures 5 is a series of six playful prints reminiscent of illustrated playing cards. The series is a delightful mash-up of early synthetic Cubist sentiments and bold German Expressionist figures. Synthetic Cubism of the early 20th century began to blur the boundaries between painting and sculpture by offering a new understanding of the pictorial surface. During the same time, German Expressionism broke away from traditional norms of representing the human figure.
In Romantic Figures 5, the royal princess appears to be disinterested as she nonchalantly balances her crown in her hand. Picasso’s Cubist influence is seen in her single, closed eye. Her raven hair is swept back into a regal bun held by a diamond clasp. Part of the exclusive ART by TA Collection, Romantic Figures 5 offers a striking portrayal of Synthetic Cubism and German Expressionism in this original series of works. Frame Width: 0.875 in
