"Before A Mirror" is a notable painting by the Czech artist Josef Čapek, who was a prominent figure in the early 20th-century European avant-garde movement. Created in 1916, this work exemplifies Čapek's unique approach to Cubism, a style he adapted and personalized alongside his contributions to other modernist movements. Josef Čapek, who was also a writer and a theorist, often infused his visual art with a narrative quality, reflecting his multifaceted engagement with cultural and intellectual currents of his time.

The painting depicts a woman standing before a mirror, rendered in a fragmented, geometric style characteristic of Cubism. Čapek's use of bold lines and a muted color palette creates a sense of introspection and complexity, inviting viewers to contemplate the relationship between reality and reflection. The subject's form is broken down into angular shapes, yet retains a sense of coherence and emotional depth, demonstrating Čapek's skill in balancing abstraction with humanistic expression.

"Before A Mirror" is significant not only for its artistic qualities but also for its context within Čapek's broader oeuvre and the historical moment in which it was created. The painting reflects the turbulent era of World War I and the shifting perspectives on identity and perception that were prevalent among artists of the time. Čapek's work, including this piece, often explored themes of existentialism and the human condition, influenced by his philosophical readings and his brother Karel Čapek's literary works.

Today, "Before A Mirror" is recognized as an important example of Czech modernism and is studied for its innovative approach to form and content. It continues to be exhibited in galleries and museums, contributing to the appreciation and understanding of Josef Čapek's legacy in the art world.
