Married Life - Roger de La Fresnaye
Rendered in a cubist approach, this painting features a man and a woman, who are husband and wife and who, at first glance, have been together for some time. Together but at the same time separated. The man is wearing a suit and smoking a cigarette. Sitting on a chair next to him, the woman is completely naked, her eyes closed. The room is cluttered, surely to reflect the state of their married life. And yet, there is order, harmony. This work is thus a paradoxically realistic representation of the balance within a couple.
