The artwork, titled “La Familia,” was created by Carlos Merida in 1977. It belongs to the Cubism art movement and falls within the abstract genre.
The artwork depicts an abstract representation of a family, rendered in a geometric style characteristic of Cubism. Dominated by shades of red and outlined with sharp, linear forms, the composition conveys figures through minimalist and angular shapes. This abstract approach reduces the human form to its essential features, allowing the viewer to interpret the familial bond through the interplay of lines and color. The art piece’s minimalistic and symbolic nature encapsulates a modernist critique, reflecting Merida’s exploration of form and abstraction within the framework of Cubism.
