Cubist Flowers Cushion

In Cubist art, flowers were transformed into complex, multi-angled creations that challenged traditional representations of reality. Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque broke down flowers into geometric shapes and overlapping planes, revealing their underlying structure. In "Still Life with Chair Caning" (1912), Picasso fragmented a bouquet of flowers into disparate forms, while Braque's "Violin and Pitcher" (1910) juxtaposed a delicate pitcher with a violin, with a bouquet of flowers in the background, reduced to abstract, two-dimensional shapes. The Cubist artists' use of flowers as a subject allowed them to explore themes of duality and multiplicity, revealing the complex, multifaceted nature of reality. By deconstructing and reassembling forms, Picasso and Braque reflected their fascination with the relationships between form, space, and reality. Created with Canva.com, Venice.ai & love.
