Decorative composition І

“Decorative Arrangement I” belongs to the early etchings of Leopold Levitsky and represents the Krakow Cycle (1931–1935). A separate group of this cycle consists of works inspired by late cubism and abstract art. In such compositions, the artist creatively rethinks the object reality, reducing the real objects to simple geometric shapes. In this way, Leopold Levitsky built a brand new model of artistic search.
