Described as the most influential art movement of the early twentieth century, Cubism artists rejected the traditional techniques of perspective and three-dimensionality and interpreted their surroundings in fragmented, geometric forms that explored the two-dimensionality of the canvas. Leading the movement, Pablo Picasso (1881-1873) and Georges Braque (1882-1963) challenged viewers to respond to “everyday” subject matter in their most basic forms. Cubist painters during this time often used multiple points of perspective, monochromatic colours, and mixed media to further explore their subject matter. This online exhibition will explore important early Cubist painters, under the influence of Picasso and Braque, and their approach to a classic subject matter: the human form. Highlighting works from Diego Rivera, Juan Gris, Roger de La Fresnaye, and Robert Delaunay, this exhibition will reveal the early works that exerted a profound influence on future painters pursuing complete abstraction. Created as a temporary exhibition for the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, France.
Portrait of Pablo Picasso , Juan Gris (Spanish, 1887–1927), January-February 1912, Владелец коллекции: The Art Institute of Chicago.
Only six years after Juan Gris arrived in Paris in 1906, he was known as a "disciple" of Picasso and a key player in the early Cubism movement. In this work, Gris deconstructs his subject, Picasso, and reduces the head, neck and torso to simple geometric forms arranged in a composition that still "reads" as the subject. Gris further simplified the composition by limiting the colour palette to a monochromatic range of cool blue, brown, and grey tones. Gris respected Picasso as a painter and leader of Cubism, and chose to depict him with palette in hand. Gris exhibited this portrait at the Salon des Indépendants in the spring of 1912.
