Woman with fish

In any case, for us may be a woman with a fish? When she is a woman, the wife of a fisherman, or at least cook. But such is not the style of art Deco! The lady in the picture gives the impression of luxury and luxury, and the fish seem exclusive accessory and also "behaving decently". Of course, no smell and scales from it will not.

Aristocratic hat, noble facial features, a slightly haughty expression, the Royal carriage, languid posture and a slender silhouette – this is "Woman with fish" late work Exter. The woman also does not appear to be overworked, and as a mantle worthy of to wrap up it, stands a shadow, as if thrown over a sleek, rounded shoulder.

Alexandra Exter presented a "ceremonial" version of the women with fish, it is in these images aristocrat living in Paris could speculate about what that would be to throw everything away – Ah, these hateful conversations, empty visits, receptions and boring small talk! and to retire to Brittany, where to marry a simple fisherman. What, really, the beauty in the simplicity and starkness! Sweet dreams tired potential secular vanity aristocrat so pleasant that in the picture there is not the slightest hint of divergence with reality. Let go outside of the canvas!

Portrait filled with a sense of idleness. Inherent in art Deco with sleek lines and echoes of cubism with a hint of chic allowed us to portray a woman pampered, relaxed. The play of light and shadow and color overlay planes – and they follow the dictates of grace and form exquisite curves. Repeat them sets the rhythm of the image – bending waist echoes the shadow, and in the perpendicular plane they play along the horizon and hats.

Even favorite colors Aleksandra Ekster – blue, green, sunlight – not satisfied here natural violence and meet the "dress code": elegant, easy, relaxed, without any tension. That might be true, in Bretagne, and married to a fisherman?..
