Braque, Georges Fruit Dish [Paris, winter] 1908-09 Oil on canvas 21 1/4 x 25 1/2 in. (54 x 65 cm.) Moderna Museet, Stockholm Romilly 35 |
John Golding, "Cubism: A History and an Analysis 1907-1914": "The objects in Braque's painting...'Still Life with Fruit Dish'...are more roughly faceted [than Picasso's contemporary work], and the whole surface is broken up in terms of the same angular but subtly modulated planes which carry the eye back into a limited depth and then forward again on to the picture plane in a series of gentle declivities and projections. In the work of both painters one becomes increasingly aware that they are making use of a variable viewpoint." |
