same composition in three different styles
















The same composition had to be made as in impresionism, as cubism and suprematism, so I chose these ways to make the exercise out of these sketches I invented. and using the colours as in a painting of Juan Gris and Olga Rozanova's Non-Objective Composition (Suprematism).
