Saÿen, originally an electrical engineer, embraced modern art in 1906, drawing inspiration from vibrant colors, abstract forms, and the dynamic brushstrokes of contemporary artists. This piece features a child engrossed in reading, with the figure simplified and abstracted through bold color choices and flowing brushwork. The use of bright, expressive tones creates a sense of movement and emotion, characteristic of Saÿen's work. This painting serves as a perfect representation of early 20th-century abstract art, ideal for collectors of vibrant and expressive works.
