The artwork titled “Creation Myth,” created by Wyndham Lewis in 1927, is a symbolic painting that belongs to the Cubism art movement. The painting is an intricate arrangement of geometric shapes, encompassing diverse colors and forms, reflective of Cubist aesthetics.
In the artwork, there is a complex array of overlapping and interwoven shapes, predominantly rectangles and squares, arranged in a seemingly chaotic yet coherent structure. The color palette is varied, featuring deep blues, browns, greens, and dark, shadowy hues. Abstract forms suggest a mythical narrative, embodying symbolic elements that evoke the essence of creation. The composition is grounded with a mix of organic and geometric forms, providing a sense of disjointed harmony that is characteristic of Cubism. The bold lines and fragmented planes come together to form a scene that invites the viewer into a layered and multifaceted interpretation of creation and mythology.
