Summary:
Józef Popczyk (Polish, 1890-1971), ‘Composition and Instruments, ’ oil on canvas painting depicting a vibrant Cubist arrangement of musical instruments and still-life elements. A trumpet and stringed instrument are interwoven with a vessel, fruit and geometric forms, rendered in a rich palette of green, red, blue, purple, orange and earth tones.

Popczyk studied architecture at the Lviv Polytechnic before moving to Paris around 1915, where he devoted himself to painting. His work developed from Post-Impressionism toward Cubism and abstraction during the 1920s, with musical subjects, nightlife, still lifes and colorful geometric compositions recurring throughout his work.
