The artwork titled “Popova” is a portrait piece created by artist Miriam Schapiro in 1992. It is part of the series “Delaunay, Goncharova, Popova and Me,” and belongs to the Cubism and Feminist Art movements.
The artwork features a striking, geometric composition with a dominant central figure characterized by angular, vivid colors. The figure is rendered in bold yellow, orange, and red hues, with intricate detailing patterns on the clothing reminiscent of a cubist aesthetic. The background consists of contrasting shapes and colors in shades of blue, gray, and black, adding depth and complexity to the piece. The word “Popova” appears prominently at the top in an artistic, handmade font, highlighting the subject’s significance. The entire composition showcases Schapiro’s ability to blend feminist themes with cubist techniques, paying homage to the influential Russian artist Liubov Popova.
