Adam and Eve
David Yakerson
1918
Image
David Yakerson’s Adam and Eve dates from a time before his turn to the much more abstract style of suprematism. In this illustration, Adam and Eve blend in with other decorative elements in a composition formed of sensuous flowing lines. The yellow of the sun and flowers recurs in many of his works of this period, dominating the palette of many of his paintings and drawings.
