Resurrection
1916

A cubist painting featuring a composition of geometric shapes and planes in muted tones of green, white, black, and beige. A prominent textured golden triangle is at the forefront, with a red square detail on one of the shapes, adding a pop of color to the otherwise subdued palette. The artist's signature is visible in the lower right corner.
