![]() And in Picasso’s works the multiple references inherent in his Synthetic compositions-curves that refer to guitars and at the same time to ears, for instance-introduce an element of play that is characteristic of so much of his work ( Student with a Pipe ) and lead to the suggestion that one thing becomes transformed into another. Still lifes and, occasionally, heads were the principal subjects for both artists. That Synthetic phase (1912–14) saw the reintroduction of colour, while the actual materials often had an industrial reference (e.g., sand or printed wallpaper). Collageīy 1912 Picasso and Braque were gluing real paper (papier collé) and other materials ( collage) onto their canvases, taking a stage further the Cubist conception of a work as a self-contained constructed object. And the Cubists’ manipulation of the picture shape-their use of the oval, for example-redefined the edge of the work in a way that underlined the fact that in a Cubist picture the canvas provides the real space. The inclusion of lettering also produced the powerful suggestion that Cubist pictures could be read coming forward from the picture plane rather than receding (in traditional perspective) into it. But it could also point to compositional elements within the painting, to the function of flat pictorial elements that play off other flat planes or curvilinear motifs. A song title, “Ma Jolie,” for instance, could point to events outside the painting it could refer narratively to Picasso’s new mistress, Eva (Marcelle Humbert). Furthermore, the inclusion of abstract and representational elements on the same picture plane led both artists to reexamine what two-dimensional elements, such as newspaper lettering, signified. Neither Braque nor Picasso desired to move into the realm of total abstraction in their Cubist works, although they implicitly accepted inconsistencies such as different points of view, different axes, and different light sources in the same picture. ![]() Pablo Picasso: Still Life with Glass, Apple, Playing Card, and Package of Tobacco ![]() SpaceNext50 Britannica presents SpaceNext50, From the race to the Moon to space stewardship, we explore a wide range of subjects that feed our curiosity about space!.Learn about the major environmental problems facing our planet and what can be done about them!
