Third research topic from Formative feedback from Part One. I note the connection with this suggestion and Part Two of the course which starts to look at the relationship between sculpture and painting. This development has close links with cubist ideas. The representation of many views and facets of an object seen from different viewpoints. The paintings that I selected for inclusion in this blog are ones that look at and depict the objects from different perspectives often flattening them and eliminating their tonal qualities. Their shapes being more important. The first painting, ‘Still Life with lemons, retains some tonal qualities particularly on the glass however the lemons are flattened. In the second painting the objects are all flattened. In the third painting it is the surroundings which are flattened and split into different viewpoints, the table, tablecloth, walls and door. The vase and flowers are conveyed in a far more traditional, European perspective manner.
