The Table

Louis Marcoussis was a Polish-born painter and printmaker who developed a rigorous, geometric approach to cubism between the 1910s and 1940s. Working primarily in oil and etching, he constructed fragmented still lifes and figures using interlocking planes of muted color, distinguished by a disciplined linearity that set his work apart from more expressionistic cubist variants. His prints, particularly his etchings, became a significant body of work in their own right. Marcoussis's practice bridged early modernism and a more controlled formal investigation of cubist principles.
