About The Artwork
Obviously styled after the cubist movement, I painted this on primed hardboard. I purposely textured the structured forms and then painted the cloud forms and background without texture. This heightened the contrast. I spent considerable time modulating the color key, to restrain it overall. The reddish tone at the bottom is applied and then dragged off. Like Braque, Picasso and Juan Gris I painted a dark outline on most of the forms. I was intent on insuring that the slightly angled downward thrust from the top to the bottom was maintained, which, in my view enhanced the dramatic effect and the energy of the painting. The cubist movement is considered by a number of critics as the most sudden break, historically with traditional painting practices. Quite a number of my own paintings are influenced by this unique genre. This is a recent painting but I intend to seal, varnish and frame it prior to sell.
