Art is made to disturb, science reassures.
~ George Braque ~
What is cubism?
Cubism was one of the most influential visual art styles of the early twentieth century. It was created by Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881–1973) and Georges Braque (French, 1882–1963) in Paris between 1907 and 1914. The French art critic Louis Vauxcelles coined the term Cubism after seeing the landscapes Braque had painted in 1908 at L'Estaque in emulation of Cézanne. Vauxcelles called the geometric forms in the highly abstracted works "cubes."

Braque became an idol to me in this genre and the stunning complexity of his work, especially with composition. A most pleasant blast from my art study past - thank you very much!

ReplyDeleteSuch a masterpiece, and very interesting quote. Do you know when he said that Corina Marinescu ?
ReplyDeleteI find that utterly backward as it is science that causes me the greatest disturbance and art that soothes and reassures.
