André Lanskoy's "Homme" exemplifies the Russian born artist's gestural abstract style, which synthesized Cubism and abstraction through dynamic brushwork and fragmented forms. The composition employs a vibrant palette and layered, intersecting planes that suggest the figure of a man while maintaining the autonomy of pure abstraction. Created during the mid twentieth century, the work reflects Lanskoy's commitment to non objective art that emerged from his time in the Paris School movement.
