Cubism has always intrigued me, beginning in my youth. I loved Picasso and later to find out Braque where the major contributors to the moment. How could you not like Pablo Picasso he was so prolific as a painter. He seemed to have a very interesting life, and he was making it as a painter. People bought his paintings while he was alive and they are still very collectable and valuable.
The idea of cubism, broken up geometric forms, abandoned perspective while displaying many views of a subject at one time, inspired by Paul Cezanne, could it get any better, is something I want to grasp. Considered the most influential art movement of the 20th century that wanted a painting to mean more than a photograph. Wow!
Coming to grips with questions from my childhood I painted “Woman in Relief”, 24 x 18 inches. It is my interpretation of New Cubism. Having different planes that suggest a form represented from three view points, contrasting the free paint. It is my second Cubism painting and brush painting for that matter, very fun to explore.
My focus has been on the painting knife for years so the softness of the brush is welcome. I am painting with Rosemary & Co Artist Brushes.
