All details of the painting Woman with a Fan (1909) turn into representative plastic symbols. The model is sitting in an armchair; she is wearing a loose hood and has an open fan in one hand and a folded umbrella in the other. The artist saturates the painting with geometrical planes of objects, which are placed at an angle to one another. This makes the rhythmic surfaces interact with tension. The vase on the table and the woman’s face resembling a ritual African mask have their own plastic interaction as well. Various tones and illumination of painting details strengthen the tension. The gaze of the lady’s asymmetrical eyes creates a somewhat ominous atmosphere. This feeling is strengthened by the colors of the painting, built around the combination of different green and gray hues with a mix of red and brown splashes. It seems like the woman’s face and all the attributes are gouged out of wood.
