The artwork entitled “Kitchen-maids” was created by Andre Masson in 1962, utilizing the medium of oil on canvas. This abstract piece measures 50.2 x 61 cm and is housed in the Tate Modern in London, UK.
The artwork is distinguished by its dynamic and spontaneous use of bold, fluid brushstrokes that form a complex interplay of shapes and colors. It features three central figures, interpreted through a combination of bright hues such as red, blue, and yellow, contrasted against a white and brown backdrop. The figures are delineated using black, expressive lines that appear to dance across the canvas, providing a sense of movement and vitality. The abstract nature of the piece allows for various interpretations, evoking a sense of energy and interplay among the kitchen-maids, whose forms merge with swirling strokes and patches of color, creating a harmonious yet chaotic composition.
