Earthtone Portrait Painting in Cubist Style from Brazil, "Feminine Faces"

Depicting people in groups of three is a favorite theme for Ney Cardoso. A couple's pensive faces are impassive and introspective. To the left, a woman stands alone in the background, her flowing hair tossed by the wind. Is she a former sweetheart? Is she a maternal figure? The Brazilian artist uses a classic cubist approach, a style that was originally inspired by African mask forms, to creates a work of luminous beauty.

Titled "Rostos Femininos" in Portuguese.
