Escuela Cubista Africana (XX) - Femmes en Bleu

Title: Women in Blue ㅤ School: Contemporary African Art (20th century), stylistic attribution ㅤ Style: Figurative Cubism / African Expressionism ㅤ Technique: Oil on canvas ㅤ Condition: Generally good preservation state, with light signs consistent with the passage of time. ㅤ Circle and artistic influence: The work stylistically relates to the currents of modern African figuration developed during the 20th century, characterized by anatomical simplification, overlapping figures, and expressive use of color. Its plastic language shows influences from synthetic Cubism, especially in the fragmentation of the figures and the geometric reorganization of space, as well as from African figurative Expressionism and certain manifestations of Caribbean folk art. The composition recalls the decorative tendencies of contemporary African painting, where the human body is transformed into a rhythmic and symbolic element. The use of stylized profiles and the combination of intertwined forms suggest a personal interpretation of human representation, distant from academic naturalism. ㅤ The work presents a highly dynamic figurative composition, featuring several entwined and superimposed human figures that seem to form part of a collective movement. The bodies, built through broad blue surfaces, are articulated through elongated limbs, angular profiles, and deliberately altered anatomical positions. The faces, rendered with stylized profiles and restrained expressions, stand out for their orange tones, which contrast with the blue chromatic predominance. Black hair, small decorative elements, and geometric motifs distributed across the composition enrich its ornamental character. The arrangement of the figures almost eliminates traditional perspective, replacing it with an interlacing grid of curves and diagonals that creates a continuous sense of movement. The work combines Cubist and Expressionist elements with a marked decorative sensibility, achieving a visually intense composition with a strong personality. ㅤ The painting is framed by a wide light wood frame with ivory tones, accompanied by gilded ornamental moldings. The inner profiles feature delicate decorative reliefs that add depth and elegance to the whole, establishing a balanced contrast with the intense chromatics of the work. ㅤ Observations: The attribution to the contemporary African school is proposed based on stylistic features, without being able to determine a precise geographic provenance. The work may incur damage during transport even with proper packaging. In such a case, we will require photographs of the damages to proceed with compensation. Customer satisfaction is always our priority. ㅤ Exceptionally, shipping costs may be affected by a surcharge for reasons such as being outside a continental territory, excessive dimensions, or weight of the item. PremiArt will never cover this surcharge. ㅤ The courier that must cross the Swiss border can experience much longer delays than normal, so, if possible, to speed up processing, we will provide the customs number that is delaying the shipment so the customer can unblock it and it can reach its destination. Experience has taught us that this is the most effective solution for both parties. ㅤ Due to the high volume of shipments, orders may be delayed by more than three days, for which we apologize and thank you for your patience. If you have any questions about your order, please contact us via internal messaging. ㅤ Dimensions: 60 × 76 cm Dimensions with frame: 77 × 92 cm
