The Living Head

The painting "The Living Head" is a 1923 artwork by Pavel Filonov, currently housed at the Russian Museum. The oil on canvas painting measures 0.78 meters in width and 0.85 meters in height. The artwork depicts an abstract and fragmented portrait, dominated by vibrant colors and intricate, swirling patterns. The subject's face, composed of numerous smaller forms and figures, emerges from a chaotic yet strangely harmonious composition.
