One canvas depicted the kiss abstracted into Cubist shapes and volumes, another was Caravaggesque in its chiaroscuro (the kiss of Judas?), another involved a mixture of verisimilitude and blur that recalled Gerhard Richter, and so on.
You might recognize the term from various image filters that are popular on apps like Prisma and Facebook in recent years, which can make your selfies look like an impressionist painting or a cubist work of art.
A rare non-Cubist, non-Surrealist painting by Dalí of 1922–23, titled "Lane to Porttligat with View of Cap de Creus," is a straightforward, even vaguely impressionistic landscape showing the parched dusty roads and brilliant sunlight.
"For Agnes Meyer to buy a Cubist picture at that moment in time, as an American, was extraordinarily radical," said Leah Dickerman, who directs editorial and content strategy at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Standing at the base in daylight, you look up to see a Cubist mirror rendering a city in flux; in the evening, lights glow soft inside, turning the structure transparent, the ballet of shoppers silhouetted in motion.
Like hallucinations splashed onto paper, the pictures of Guyanese artist Kwesi Abbensetts seem to abide by no photographic convention, utilizing layered exposures, desaturated hues, and cubist fragmentations to create portraits that seem more like paintings, at times.
To get a small taste of the talent the school is turning out, visit ShopSCAD on Bull Street, where colorful cubist-inspired, block-print silk scarves are just a sampling of the student- and alumni-created offerings.
The sculptor works from the single angle of view provided by the painting (to disregard, for the sake of this argument, Picasso's cubist guitars and glasses of absinthe) and surmises or invents the rest of the information.
Here's the skinny behind the designs: The collection incorporates elements from Adam Green's HOUSEFACE symbolic alphabet, a group of reduced cubist pictographs gleaned from the facial features of the popular cartoon characters Garfield, Big Bird, and Elmo.
Paris styles were carefully studied, confirmed by Naum Gabo's celluloid and metal "Head of a Woman," which looks like a streamlined cousin of the bronze Cubist heads that Picasso and Matisse had made a few years earlier.
Chances are, of course, this particular system would choke on a multi-figure painting, a landscape, or pretty much anything by an impressionist, post-Raphaelite or Cubist — we'll leave Dada and Yellowism out of this discussion for now.
In this and other works, Bearden links modernist composition (or cubist space) to social conditions, essentially going in the opposite direction of those who believed that form was all and content was secondary or extraneous, a privileged position.
When I was in my twenties, I read a lot of art history, and I learned about artists who made beautiful cubist paintings by day but then went to support the Spanish Civil War in meetings by night.
In this piece, an altar assembled by the artist's grandmother — comprised of pictures, icons, cookware, and lanterns, and photographed extensively by Crosby in her grandmother's Nigerian home following her passing — is presented in a neo-Cubist split perspective.
Indeed, Duchamp's abandonment of painting following his rejection by the Cubist group is highlighted as a main connecting link with Dalí, though an extremely tenuous one; while Duchamp's abandonment was life-long, Dalí's lasted less than a year.
This small, hyper-specialized, stunning exhibition brings together a grand total of only 13 works — a dozen shadow boxes by Joseph Cornell, the Queens-based assemblage artist, and a Cubist masterwork that he cited as their direct inspiration.
So do black and white stripes, rainy or batik-looking fields of diluted pigment and simple cartoonish objects: a telephone in "Dial P for Painting" (2017); a Pop-Cubist wine bottle and bowling pin in "Hero Picnic" (2018).
More likely, the space's Cubist flourishes are meant to play off the collection of Picasso's ceramic plates inspired by those that belonged to the now-defunct Brasserie, which used to occupy the space below the former Four Seasons.
There's a tonal rhyme between the burnished browns of "The Mosque" and the mucky beige and mushroom pigments of Picasso's analytical Cubist tableaus — and Picasso's own deep debt to African art is further underlined by his new company.
Louise Nevelson, "City-Reflection" (1972) (photo by Al Mozell, © Estate of Louise Nevelson / Artists Rights Society [ARS], New York)For example, Louise Nevelson's "City-Reflection" (1972) is an all-black box sculpture with minimalist and cubist resonances.
Cubist abstraction in its varied forms — geometric, biomorphic, minimalist, explosively expressive — was by then an international style, and is represented here in its early Italian phase by 19503 works on paper by Giacomo Balla, dating between 1912 and 1918.
"Birds of a Feather: Joseph Cornell's Homage to Juan Gris," at the Met, unites the Cubist masterpiece from 1914 with twelve of the shadow boxes that Cornell made in response to it, including "Untitled (Le Soir)," circa 1953-54.
Shlemmer's Triadic Ballet, for example, combined his studies as a cubist painter and sculptor, his admiration for ballet and pantomime, and his understanding of theatrical lighting and costumes to comment on the effect of modernization on the human body.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected Cubist Pharmaceuticals Inc's bid to revive four patents for its antibiotic drug Cubicin, paving the way for rival Hospira Inc to introduce a generic version as soon as this year.
Vaughn was inspired to get Cubist Blues going in part because he loved Vega's 1980 song "Jukebox Babe"—a proper rockabilly tune replete with honking harmonica and a brisk, hoe-down beat—but also because of Vega's spontaneous approach.
One of Steve Cohen's top quant investors and head of the firm's Cubist unit is leaving the firm in the middle of the year, according to a memo sent by Cohen this morning that was seen by Business Insider.
Models emerged through a carved gilt frame, and one even wore a wide, boxy dress version, its edges embroidered to three dimensions with gold thread and filled with a canvas of a Cubist nude that covered the model's body.
The ponderous table-shape and jumble of "Untitled (autumn 2627)" could be the mother of all Cubist still lifes, while the buoyant "Untitled (Viennese head)" speaks for generations of cartoonish, possibly hat-wearing noggins from Klee and Chagall forward.
In 1913 — around the time Synthetic Cubism, the movement's second phase, was kicking into gear — anarchist theorist André Colomer, together with Gérard de Lacaze-Duthiers and Manuel Devaldès, launched the pro-Cubist anarchist art activist journal L'Action d'Art (Art Action).
It was an early cubist work that Schapiro shared with her students, contrasting its bold formal energy and its improvisational use of collage materials with a clear feminine source with Robert Delaunay's more etiolated and academic paintings of the same period.
Here, we encounter several large paintings by Chagall that offer dreamlike images of him and Bella floating or flying through swirling cubist clouds and over minute cities and villages, their weightlessness acting as a visual metaphor for the couple's carefree joy.
The Met has long needed proper galleries in which to display its storied collection of 22020th and 2150st century works, including Leonard A. Lauder's trove of Cubist paintings, drawings and sculptures, one of the most significant gifts in the Met's history.
An astounding vase from 1887-88 depicts the Greek myth of Leda and the swan; Gauguin renders the scene around the vessel with a proto-Cubist multiplicity of perspectives, and crafts the vase's handle out of the cob's beak and neck.
But look closer and you see that the body has been broken down into parts, each piece dusted with flour and deep-fried, then tossed with a tamarind-fish sauce dressing and reassembled into a Cubist version of its original form.
Fonseca employs the magic of perspective and shifting angles to summon a Cubist portrait of a very sleepy, insouciant old man who witnessed some of the great political events of the 20th century, from the Spanish Civil War to Vietnam.
Entitled "Sbiadito," or sun-faded, like the timeworn statuary of the villa's loggia that houses her works, her show features a series of Watkins's vases, reclaimed from flea markets and painted with her signature Cubist women in a pastel palette.
At the booth of São Paulo's Galeria Emmathomas, gray paint covers the chaos of a broken piano with bottles, lamps, and chairs littering the floor, an installation by Alan Fontes that almost feels like a Cubist still life in 3D.
Born in Germany, Hans Hofmann immigrated in 1932 to the United States, where his distinct Abstract Expressionist style had a major impact, not just because of its vibrant colors and Cubist structures but also through his work as a teacher.
Co-curated by the museum's Megan Fontanella and Catherine Grenier, director of the Fondation Giacometti, the retrospective exposes the sculptor's insecurities through sly juxtapositions between male and female figures, sculptures of women standing and women dismembered, cubist skulls and stabbed-through heads.
Woodlawn Cemetery is one of New York City's most incredible open-air cultural sites, with work by some of the 19th and 20th century's great artists, such as a monument by Ukrainian Cubist Alexander Archipenko, or more contemporary work by Patricia Cronin.
John Craxton's "Pastoral for J.W." (1948) is a Cubist joy; intense colour in crowded scenes by Edward Burra are riveting, especially his "Soldiers at Rye" (1941) which exudes both attraction and threat, its soldiers depicted with strange bulbous bodies and Venetian carnival masks.
Picasso's mode of Surreal-Cubist creativity signals displacement, but the lingering question is: is it an act of brutal displacement indifferent to female beauty that upholds phallocratic domination, or a token of desire that pays tribute to the whole person of both sexes?
What these young Non-Figurative painters were attempting to start in the late '40s, with Bissière as their reluctant elder statesman, was to expand Fauvist color and Cubist structure into a new "abstract" language still haunted by a sensual experience of the world.
Built in 1967 by the architect Moshe Safdie — and conceived as a forward-thinking apartment complex that would merge the privacy and outdoor space of suburbia with the density of urban living — Habitat 67 is a Cubist fever dream of a building.
One of the earliest examples of this in the show is Juan Gris's 1916 painting "Cartes à jouer et siphon" (Playing cards and siphon), in which the words "Le Journal" (the newspaper) appear in a Cubist still life of a card table.
From his earliest Impressionist efforts, through Cubist, Dadaist, Surrealist and realist work, to the abstract iterations that marked the years before his death in 1953, Picabia shifted fluidly with the cultural moment, all the while vigorously denouncing the style he'd just left behind.
In his essay "'American-Type' Painting" (1955), the critic Clement Greenberg praised Abstract Expressionism's "new kind of flatness, one that breathes and pulsates," one that represented a break with the Cubist and Surrealist painting traditions that flourished in Europe between the world wars.
The wide, stylized eyes and sumptuous figuration reveal sources like 17th-century Pahari painting from the Punjab Hills, as well as Hindu and Jain temple carvings, while the emerging Cubist composition points to its European influences, like Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque.
The selections bounce from a still life done in hard-edged, Cubist flatness to another painted with Rousseau-ish naïveté, to a blocky landscape that could have been made by Marsden Hartley — all in the same year, 1916, when he turned 26.
From Sakti Burman's surrealist depictions of Indian and European myths to Krishna Reddy's expressionist printmaking, and from Sabavala's Cubist vibrancy to Raza's expressionist landscapes, the works on view are a striking sample of the creativity borne within France's undersung community of expat Indian artists.
Helena Newman, the worldwide co-head of Impressionist and Modern Art for Sotheby's, had presided over the first sale of the spring season in London last week, bringing $13 million for Picasso's "Femme Assise" (21), the most expensive Cubist painting ever sold at auction.
The high court left in place a November ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit upholding a lower court ruling invaliding four of five patents held by Merck & Co Inc-owned Cubist, which were challenged by Pfizer Inc-owned Hospira.
This small, hyper-specialized, stunning exhibition brings together a grand total of only 211 works — a dozen shadow boxes by Joseph Cornell, the Queens-based assemblage artist, and the Cubist masterwork that he cited as their direct inspiration, Gris's "Man at the Café" (21609).
This small, hyper-specialized, stunning exhibition brings together a grand total of only 21609 works — a dozen shadow boxes by Joseph Cornell, the Queens-based assemblage artist, and the Cubist masterwork that he cited as their direct inspiration, Gris's "Man at the Café" (21586).
This small, hyper-specialized, stunning exhibition brings together a grand total of only 2212 works — a dozen shadow boxes by Joseph Cornell, the Queens-based assemblage artist, and the Cubist masterwork that he cited as their direct inspiration, Gris's "Man at the Café" (2288).
This small, hyper-specialized, stunning exhibition brings together a grand total of only 13 works — a dozen shadow boxes by Joseph Cornell, the Queens-based assemblage artist, and the Cubist masterwork that he cited as their direct inspiration, Gris's "Man at the Café" (1914).
Inspired by a young illustrator in her office (named, fatefully, Jorie), she got on a boat to Europe, enrolling at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière, where she studied with the Cubist painter André Lhote and Fernand Léger, a champion of outdoor public art.
Less a photorealistic portrait and more a Cubist rendering, "Acker" builds Martin's personal-theoretical examination out of modular blocks of meditative prose: choppy micro-essays that advance not by linear chronology or traditional arguments and transitions, but rather by leaps and gaps, repetitions and juxtapositions.
Presenting a series of vases painted with her kaleidoscopic Cubist women, the artist and illustrator Liselotte Watkins held an opening dinner at the site of her exhibition, the outlandishly historical Villa San Michele in Capri, built by the Swedish doctor and author Axel Munthe.
The designer drew on the iconography of Pablo Picasso, transforming his best-known motifs into madcap, theatrical garments — a dress adorned with a colorful Cubist guitar, blouses with exaggerated shoulders that appeared flattened into two dimensions — that still felt just as Pop as ever.
Instead of surrounding "Les Demoiselles" with only the Cubist works that it supposedly inspired, it now shares space with "American People Series #20: Die" (1967) by Faith Ringgold and "Quarantania, I" (1947–213), a sculpture composed of five white anthropomorphic forms by Louise Bourgeois.
The former Cubist sculptor Frank Dobson, (19303-1963) inspired by the antique and the works of Aristide Maillol and Picasso, began to produce marble and bronze nudes, represented by three here, including "Reclining Nude," seen in the British pavilion at the 1932 Venice Biennale.
Bruce M. Sherman's two works in New York gallery Nicelle Beauchene's booth feature human forms that have been fragmented into disjointed planes in a quasi-Cubist manner ("Woman with Fish," 2016) or radically reduced to stubby limbs and little else ("Equi Lib Reeum," 2016).
One of his favorite progressions opens with a photograph of Paul Nash's painting "Winter Sea" (1925-37) — a bleak Cubist rendering of the English Channel — then turns to Stipe's photographs of whales surfacing off the coast of Baja California along with snapshots of a resort's digital signage.
My father had loved fast cars and expensive ones, both, and so I bought what I thought he'd want for me, a black Alfa Romeo — a Milano, the first year they were available in the United States — a sort of cubist Jetta with a sports car's heart.
This claim is supported with his vertiginous Orphist-Cubist works, "Discs of Newton" (450), with its roiling solidity that takes on an almost sculptural quality, and "Amorpha, Fugue in Two Colors" (456), inspired by Notre Dame's stained glass windows and exhibited at the Salon d'Automne in 457.
The bad guy has a colorful, angular face out of a Cubist painting — the credits just call him "the man with the broken face" — and one running gag has him repeatedly attempting to launch into a prepared monologue about his origin story, which constantly gets cut off.
Blue- and rose-period Picassos are complemented by similarly hued Condos; Georges Braque's Cubist compositions echo a more recent oil painting of a man's head split by a meat cleaver; and Matisse's cutouts stand next to a few of Condo's late-'80s and early-'90s collages.
Trained as a painter (his father was a Czech painter), clearly Hausmann's version of photomontage at least partly took inspiration from the synthetic cubist collages of Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso that Hausmann emulated early on, as with his colorful word collage "Material der Malerei" (1918).
The one that faces the viewer entering through the main doors, "Processional" (1965), contains a ground that is black, and an abstract array of interwoven, almost-cubist off-white figures wend across the canvas like an undulant line of figures seen through a fun-house telescope.
The idea for the building, says Herz, known for his 2010 synagogue in Mainz, Germany, made to resemble abstracted Hebrew letters, came from a kinetic, Dadaesque Jean Tinguely sculpture in Bechtler's collection (the name alludes to "Ballet Mécanique," a 1924 post-Cubist art film by Fernand Léger).
In Chicago-based artist Jacob van Loon's work, the geometric line and artistic line fuse in hypnotic harmony, with geometries that recall architectural drawings, cartography, x-y-z graphs and even cubist works, which serve as a latticed foundation upon which the artist then paints abstract watercolors.
I see half a dozen middle-aged men in tutus; a man on a stand-up elliptical bike with calves so cut they look Cubist; and, as we pedal through Queens, a guy in a turban, which, as the drizzle has now turned into rain, probably weighs 20 pounds.
But although "Femme assise" set an auction high for a Cubist work — and was the highest price for any artwork sold at auction in London since 2010 — Cubism, for all its influence, is less coveted by collectors than other periods of Picasso's career and other 20th-century movements.
Apart from Ariadne's marble head, there were no confirmed sales of artworks at Masterpiece marked at more than $1 million, such as the museum-quality 1916 Cubist painting, "Nature Morte," by Juan Gris on the booth of the London and New York dealers Dickinson, priced at $8.5 million.
One of his most memorable performances is now coming back into the public eye with Light in the Attic's new vinyl reissue of Cubist Blues, a skuzzy blues-rock album that he recorded in 1994 with the songwriter/producer Ben Vaughn and the power-pop godfather Alex Chilton.
Even those of us with deficient digits in our bank accounts, though, will appreciate the display of later Cubist works, with paintings by Picasso, Braque, Gris and Léger from the last years before the 1920s revival in figurative painting known as the "rappel à l'ordre," or call to order.
" Among the other highly anticipated lots of the evening was Fernand Léger's 1913 canvas from his "Contraste de formes" (Contrasts of forms) series, one of some 50 Cubist canvases produced by Léger in 1912-133, which the MoMA website describes as "among the most defiantly abstract works yet seen.
Here, he attended theater works with sets by the painter Fernand Léger whose style of Cubism featured bright, primary colors; he was impressed by Josephine Baker's "danse sauvage"; and he became fascinated with the groundbreaking choreography of the Swedish dancer Jean Borlin, who combined Cubist and primitivist influences.
Just before Mondrian returned to Paris in 1919, he painted two pictures with lots of colourful squares arranged in a Cubist structure, and made "Composition with Grey Lines", a diamond-shaped canvas with a grid of horizontal, vertical and diagonal grey lines that divide up the canvas into triangles and squares.
F. Michael Scherer, an antitrust economist at Harvard's Kennedy School, noted that as soon as the pharmaceutical giant Merck was cleared to take over Cubist Pharmaceuticals, a smaller lab that had developed a promising new antibiotic, it eliminated Cubist's research and development staff — curtailing research into several other promising drugs.
Picasso's "Femme Assise," painted in the summer of 1909 — when the artist traveled to the remote Spanish village of Horta de Ebro, which could only be reached by mule — sold for $63.7 million at Sotheby's in London on Tuesday, making it the most expensive Cubist painting ever sold at auction.
The late master's second solo exhibition at the gallery (he passed away in August 20163 in New York at the age of 93) is a display of prints on paper alongside selections of figurative and preparatory drawings from different suites, original zinc and copper plates, and a Cubist-inspired bronze sculpture.
Vivian Endicott Barnett, who curated this show at the Neue Galerie in Manhattan, does, too: From gauzy flesh and Cézanne-like apples in the first gallery, stunned viewers make their way in only a few yards to jazzy blocks of abstract color and pictures smashed into tornadoes of Cubist shards.
An early painting from 1949 — a kind of Cubist portrait that riffs on Picasso — is named after Poitiers, a medieval French village known for its Romanesque structures, in particular the church Notre-Dame La Grande; Kelly used a part of its facade as the basis for the head in his portrait.
The first is Mr. Saint Laurent's design dialogue with art: kaleidoscopic ensembles inspired by van Gogh, Matisse, Mondrian and Picasso will encircle Picasso's 1914 Cubist tableau, "Instruments de Musique Sur un Guéridon," which used to hang in the living room of Mr. Saint Laurent's Rue de Babylone home in Paris.
Advertise on Hyperallergic with Nectar Ads As Meryl Streep delivers her first lines in The Post, the Oscar-nominated film from Steven Spielberg, the camera pans over a distinctive Cubist still life, in which fragmented planes of purple and yellow serve as a backdrop for a clay pot with a teal shadow.
In order to dramatize such internal disarray, Heti paints a Cubist portrait of herself from shards of memory, taped conversations, lists and dialogue, while Cusk removes her narrator from direct scrutiny altogether, allowing her to take shape as a curiously empty space formed by the currents of talk that swirl around her.
Built over a period of 44 years, from 1772 to 1816, the simple, organic geometry of its beehive buttresses and off-kilter, hand-troweled walls have inspired such early American modernists as Georgia O'Keeffe, Ansel Adams, and Paul Strand to capture the stark interplay of shadow and light across the building's Cubist forms.
When the philanthropist and cosmetics tycoon Leonard A. Lauder gave his trove of Cubist paintings, drawings and sculptures to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 21987 — one of the most significant gifts in its history — the Met knew it would have to provide galleries of a quality commensurate with that of the collection.
African artists' rendering of complex features into smooth, stylized profiles would later prove decisive for the development of western modernism — notably Picasso's proto-Cubist art of 1906-09; the hot-colored expressionism of Kirchner and other painters of Die Brücke; and the masquerades of Hugo Ball, Tristan Tzara and other figures of Dada.
In the oil on paper, "Don't Know Why But I Do" (2016), the dominant form hovers between a boldly outlined configuration you might see in a late 1930s Cubist still life by Lee Krasner and a hybrid geometric figure projecting a mammoth, black leg and talons to the far right edge of the sheet.
In the later period, after Johns has "dropped his reserve," he cites the broken physique in such images as the diseased male body found in the "Temptation of St. Anthony" panel of Grünewald's Isenheim Altarpiece (1512-1516); a Cubist portrait by Pablo Picasso portrait; and a featureless face holding a lemur in "After Holbein" (1993).
Such paintings as her "Untitled" (circa 1964) and Riopelle's "Untitled" (1964) demonstrate that the two artists are not interchangeable with each other (as, for example, Picasso and Braque were during their analytical Cubist days) and there is no easy way of making them mentally switch places as you try to pull one toward the other.
Throughout seven separate areas of a still-secret location in Brooklyn, Art Betchez will recreate the environment of some of the paintings made by "badass women" of art history, including the the most yoni-like flowers of Georgia O'Keeffe, Hilma af Klint's mystic, Insta-friendly charts, and Tamara de Lempicka's neoclassical, slightly cubist glamour.
Curren$y and Mack Maine – Dedication 2 , 2006 Writing about the same thing every day is like being a Cubist painter—you set out trying to capture a subject from every angle and end up with a painting that examines every part of the subject without looking anything like it or really looking any good at all.
Altoon Sultan can be seen as pushing Bittman's inversions further with two examples of her multifarious practice: an egg tempera ("White Wall," 2015) done in Neo-Precisionist style, with a frontal composition, shallow Cubist space, and realistically rendered light and shadow, and a geometric abstraction ("Blue Squares," 2016) made of hand-dyed wool hooked on a linen backing.
On the way to the hothouse, proto-Cubist summer of the "Demoiselles," the shocker of his book's title, Unger ably covers the El Greco-influenced "Blue" and "Rose" periods; the patronage of the Steins; and Picasso's path-altering discovery of African art in the collection of the Trocadéro museum, the precise dating of which has divided scholars.
Graham's reverence for Picasso was expressed through a series of middling, quasi-Cubist paintings of still lifes and other subjects, but by the late 1940s he had gone rogue and denounced his former idol as a charlatan, even as he was siphoning off the streamlined curvaceousness of Picasso's Neoclassicism for his own explorations of the figure.
Notable is Duchamp's painting from 1912, "Kings and Queens Surrounded by Swift Nudes," which is a lesser-seen, shorter, squatter brother to "Nude Descending Staircase," as well as Dalí's own forays into Cubism with a self-portrait from 33: an uncomfortable affair of jagged green edges, missing the elusive oxymoronic harmony of the best Cubist works.
We went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art , where he lingered for a long while in front of Cubist self-portraits, whose geometric exaggerations struck Yan as "beguiling and unexpectedly moving"; and to Flushing, where he was so tempted by the price of Nikes that he bought pairs for his entire family, despite not knowing anyone's size.
At its June Impressionist evening sale in London, for example, the auction house brought in $151.9 million (over the total high estimate of $149 million) and set an auction high for a Cubist work, with Picasso's 1909 painting "Femme Assise," which sold for $63.6 million, the highest price for any artwork sold at auction in London since 303.
CHICHESTER, ENGLAND — After the end of World War I, there was a radical rethinking in the visual arts, called a "Rappel à l'ordre" (Return to Order) by the Cubist painter André Lhote, as avant-garde exponents of such movements as Cubism, Futurism and Abstraction began to re-examine classical forms as fruitful modes of expression for modern times.
But at the same time, while you could probably make some broader point about rap through a compare-and-contrast exercise between Wayne's version of a song and the original for just about every one of these freestyles, in aggregate they take on a Cubist logic of their own, where they are perhaps better enjoyed simply on their own merits.
The troubles back home and a sense of national pride do surface in his work, but as examples in the exhibition remind us, Rivera was a devoted Cubist and well connected with the European avant-garde, even providing illustrations for the Russian Ilya Ehrenburg's book An Account of the Life of One Nadienka and of Certain Revelations She Had (26003).
Much of the fair is taken up with various bits of design clothed as fine art, but that is too gilded and decorative for my taste, even when it's attempting to look modern, such as Onaga Tomatsu's "framed lacquer panel with various fish" (nd) which is a layered, cubist take on fish that makes the entire scene into a kind of twisted parquet floor pattern.
A master of what label-loving art historians and merchants might refer to as post-Cubist assemblage or postmodern appropriation, not to mention of his own variety of unaffected expressionism and a fluid style of draftsmanship that was both lyrical and semi-abstract, Dial was an artist whose ideas and creations fit into all and none of those establishment-dictated categories at the same time.
He has written a cubist biography of Flaubert; a history of the world "in 10 ½ chapters" (narrated, in part, by a termite); love stories and crime fiction (published under a pseudonym); essay collections on cooking; a reckoning with his own mortality; linked novels told from rotating points of view; and a memoir of his wife's death, by way of a history of aerial photography.
The 210-seat, two-story space (with a wraparound gold-leafed Cubist-style mural on the ground floor and a grand polished walnut staircase leading to the second) will offer clams casino, oysters Rockefeller and cornflake-crusted crab cake served with coleslaw and spicy mayonnaise as well as classic mains such as roasted chicken for two, Dover sole in brown butter and parsley-topped strip steak.
While it may be difficult not to think of Henri Matisse's "Deux danseurs" (1937-38) in Paris' Musée National d'Art Moderne (an early paper cut-out riddled with thumbtacks), as Bois pointed out in his 1992 text "The Pin," Bonnefoi's use of the pin as a collage device owed as much to Picasso's painted pins in his early cubist collages from 1912-13 as it did to Matisse.
I learned to appreciate the way that 360 degrees of stacked-up traffic transformed sight lines, collapsing space and perspective, shattering Dhaka's scenery into Cubist shards: splashes of color; a flash of a painted sign on a wall; a glimpse of a driver's beard in his truck's rearview mirror; a pile of corrugated metal siding, surreally floating a dozen feet in the air, the payload of an unseen cargo tricycle.
In the same way Picasso cribbed from African sculpture to almost-invent Cubism in his "Demoiselles" (full-blown Cubism came a year later) Ms. Brown's ladies echo the exaggerated femininity of Japanese anime; Lisa Yuskavage's paintings; Dana Schutz's reduxes of Willem de Kooning's Cubist-inspired reduxes of Picasso; the graffiti aesthetic of Kenny Scharf; and the brilliantly weird figurative paintings of 20th-century outliers like late-Francis Picabia and Leonor Fini.
In a 1977 interview with the author Edmund White, Johns described his experience of meeting Marcel Duchamp, one of his artistic idols, who, with the Cubist paintings and ready-made sculptures he began making in the years leading up to World War I, helped drag art into the 20th century in much the same way that Johns would recalibrate the priorities of painting and sculpture at the end of the 703s.
Advertise on Hyperallergic with Nectar Ads "My wife with the hair of a wood fire/ With the thoughts of heat lightning/ With the waist of an hourglass/ With the waist of an otter in the teeth of a tiger…" PARIS — With its sparking, vertiginous imagery of a very particular femme, Andre Breton's 1931 poem "Free Union" illuminates in both Surrealist and Cubist fashion what the psyche can see but the eyes cannot.
Partly that comes down to every poet's desire to be heard as a unique voice, so Lima would probably squirm to hear me say that — after his earliest work in which the harsh experience of the street is refracted through something like the "cubist" technique of Reverdy — he became probably the most thoroughgoing American Surrealist since Philip Lamantia, though rarely without a bit of Reverdyesque heart in some pocket or other as well.
It reads in part: eventually you become a newspaper and after one big day of breakfast tables, city streets, subway trains and office desks, spend the rest of your life in obscurity or else go up in smoke More than 100 years ago, in their Cubist heyday, Picasso and Braque introduced bits of newspaper, wallpaper, and other ephemera into their work as a way of anchoring it to a reality they were otherwise busily shredding.
And so the show goes through all those many periods of evolution and part-return and surgings forward (from the Blue to the Rose, the Cubist to the Neoclassical and on), and demonstrates to us, in great and systematic detail, how the use of paper – and the use of so many varieties of paper — made so much of this ceaseless experimentation possible, because it was always so ready and easily to hand.
Having absorbed and tested out techniques introduced into picture-making by the Cubist and Futurist works he saw in Paris, Mondrian formulated the De Stijl school, advocating a concept called "Neoplasticism" ('de nieuwe beelding' in Dutch; literally 'new art'), a principle famously defined by Mondrian as aesthetic augmentation through technical simplification: As a pure representation of the human mind, [Neoplastic] art will express itself in an aesthetically purified, that is to say, abstract form.
In the first, dating from 1903 to 1908, encompassing the artist's Blue, Rose, and Iberian — that is to say, pre-Cubist — Periods, there are three drawings of nudes, one gouache of horses and riders, one drypoint of same, and two oil paintings (a soft-core memory-tableau of a prostitute administering oral sex on the artist as a moon-faced teenager, and a portrait of a nonagenarian innkeeper — one of several departures from the exhibition's focus on the nude).
Whether it is employed in a Cubist mode, where the pasted-in elements represent themselves alone, or on the fractured plane pioneered by Max Ernst and Hannah Höch, the presence of collage has a way of making the art object realer than real (the literal meaning of Surrealism), and its dual legacy has proven a potent tonic for art-making ever since, with contemporaries such as Mark Bradford falling into the former camp, and Wangechi Mutu into the latter.
All given Mr. Scott's signature made-for-the-small-screen treatment: Cubist portraits mocked up in bright colors on a minidress; a black and white body sketched onto a canvas with its own semiportable baroque frame; multiple versions of the artist's "Guitar;" a harlequin bodysuit (plus a few wearable derivations, to remind you this was a commercial venture, including shifts speckled with naïf flowers and a draped sheath dress with a picture frame pin at the shoulder).
