About Inca with Birds

The artwork “Inca with Birds,” created by Wyndham Lewis in 1933, belongs to the art movements of Cubism and Metaphysical art. This genre painting exemplifies an intricate fusion of geometric abstraction and enigmatic representation.

This artwork portrays stylized and abstracted figures, displaying an Inca individual and accompanying birds. The angular composition and fragmented forms show the influence of Cubism, dissecting space and form into planar sections. The figures are depicted with sharp lines and geometric shapes, creating a complex interplay of light and shadow. The background features structural elements that reinforce the metaphysical essence of the painting, invoking both mystery and contemplation. The choice of subdued yet distinct colors imbues the scene with an otherworldly, almost surreal quality.
