What a beautiful painting! I enjoyed reading about the pioneering Cubist movement and seeing his other works - amazing 😁. I think out of all his artworks this one is my favourite though. Wishing you a Happy T Tuesday! J 😊 x
ReplyDeleteYou always find the most interesting art for us. I could stare at the composition of this piece for a long time.
ReplyDeleteI am off to add your link to the list, then I'll be back to share my thoughts on this painting.
ReplyDeleteI've not heard of this artist, but I adore his work. When I think of Cubism, I think about Picasso. But his art is jagged and definitely cubed. Although this is called Purism, I can see how it evolved from the Cubism movement. And when I first saw the little icon on my sidebar, I thought Cubism, too. I enjoyed reading about the Purism principles and really adore his art. In fact, I like it much better than Picasso's Cubisms.

Fabulous painting - an artist to research for sure! Happy T day Chrisx
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful painting. I had not heard of this artist and enjoyed reading about him and his work when I looked him up. Interestingly he was French, then became a US citizen after moving there, but re-naturalized French towards the end of his life.
ReplyDeleteHappy T-Day,
