Gouache on paper, framed, featuring a Cubist style artwork, signed and attributed to Vladmir Tatlin (Russian, 1885-1953), on the upper right corner. 10.2 x 7.9 in. (26 x 20 cm). Much of Tatlin's mature work shows a desire to abolish the traditionally representational function of art and put it to new, more practical uses. This accorded with his desire to put art in the service of the Russian Revolution, but also to express the dynamic experience of life in the 20th century. Although this would be more effectively achieved by a later generation of artists. PROVENANCE: Southern Ontario estate
