Henry Shohet, Prague

Executed in 1921, the present work displays Emil Filla’s approach to Picasso’s and Braque’s synthetic cubism to which the artist had been exposed during his extensive travels to Paris between 1911 and 1914. Characterised by the use of flat surfaces, sharp edges, and oblique lines, Buste d’homme showcases Filla’s talent as a draughtsman.
