Synthetic Cubism on the other hand was a natural extension of Analytic Cubism. This type of Cubism is called Analytic Cubism, and it’s usually what comes to mind when people think of Cubist artwork. In doing this, the artist is attempting to give a fuller, more detailed explanation of the subject-breaking past barriers of space and time, like in the famous painting by Marcel Duchamp entitled Nude Descending a Staircase (seen above.) Instead, after looking at the subject from every possibly angle, the artist will piece together fragments from different vantage points into one painting. Unlike traditional still-lifes, landscapes, or portrait paintings, Cubist paintings aren’t meant to be realistic or life-like in any way. But Cubism wasn’t just a specific “style” or “look”-it actually allowed artists an entirely different way of seeing and depicting real-life objects. ![]() Started by Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso, most Cubist works are immediately recognizable due to their flattened, nearly two-dimensional appearance an inclusion of geometric angles, lines, and shapes and a fairly neutral color palette.Īs the movement evolved, color, texture, and graphic elements (like text) were added, to the point where later Cubist works often appeared more like collage than anything else. These colours used in conjunction with one another adds further depth and texture to the beautiful and cheerful art piece.Within the first two decades of the 20th century, a new art movement began that was unlike any other. This is considering the fact that she emphasises it multiple times through the hidden analogies.Īs for the subject itself, we notice the harmonious blend of colours for both sides, with lighter shades of colours used – gold, yellow, red, pink and orange. These items represent the overwhelming joys that she’s truly experiencing deep within her heart. In an anti-clockwise manner, we notice pink hearts, followed by trees in a sea of green, brownish hearts and emoticons, waves of blue diamonds and last but not least, a mesh of purple and ice cream. It’s a portrayal of overwhelming joy and happiness as depicted through the subject and the background colours.įor the background, we noticed that she splits it into 5 segments, each depicting items that make her happy. This piece of cubism art paints a story of the feelings she’s experiencing at that point of time. We can be happy and vibrant at times, and yet feel these pangs of overwhelming grief that hit us like a storm when we least expect it. As humans, we are the embodiment of these powerful feelings. This disassociation in elements represents human nature harmoniously, with the analogy for this contrast signifying that we can be happy and sad at the same time. On the other hand, we use brighter colours like yellow, orange and red to provide the elements of heat, radiance and vibrance that gives the sun its unique vibe. ![]() On the left, we use cooler colours through the blending of blue to differentiate the transition of cool colours. ![]() ![]() This juxtaposition in art showcases the contrasting elements perfectly, both in nature and in the choice of colours used. The sun and moon are contrasting forces in nature, each representing two sides that will never meet. This piece of work was inspired by the sun and moon sculpture that are often used for logos and design. Solaris v Lunaris (2021), Himari, 6 years old
