Impression of the painting.
The painting "Magpie" is done in the style of cubism with a restrained color palette. The theme reflects contemplation of the sensation of winter in simplified forms. Despite its modernity, the artist did not immerse the narrative in abstraction. Objects on the canvas have a clear meaning at the very edge of understanding. The feeling of frosty winter bathed in sunlight, the warmth of sunbeams penetrating the house, and, of course, the curious magpie peeking out from behind the patchwork quilt of figurative language.
When we discovered Cubism, we did not have the aim of discovering Cubism. We only wanted to express what was in us.
- Pablo Picasso
Creation of the painting.
The plot of the painting emerged in 2002, but the artist painted it until 2021, playing with form and color like notes. Another experiment in assimilating the experience of cubism and reducing objects to the brink of understanding the plot.
Fate of the painting.
The painting was not finished by the artist in his understanding. To the master's credit, it must be said that all his canvases can be considered complete at any stage. The painting "Magpie" never participated in exhibitions and remained in the artist's studio until his death in 2022.
