Cubism: 5 works between Picasso, Braque and Britto for your home

Cubism - Find out 5 Artworks by Famous Cubist Painters: Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque and Romero Britto Ideal to decorate your Home.

The artistic movement of Cubism, which developed during the first half of the Twentieth Century and has Cézanne as predecessor, has completely change the traditional standards of visual art.

Through the break-up of the third dimension and the representation of a fourth one, the cubist artists create paintings which appear as geometric and bi-dimensional, but also with an hypnotic and alienating effect.

The main characteristic of Cubism comes exactly from this breakdown: the objects are portraied from different points of you simultaneously.

The artists, therefore, present at the same time what he/she know, but also what he/she does not; the visible and the invisible.

The same process of analysis of our faceted reality, which is not always in plain sight, and happens every day, in our daily places.

Why then do not bring cubist artworks in our lives? Two elements are on favour: on one hand, they symbolically represent what surround us, on the other, the are works with an appraisable artistic value.

Deodato Gallery would like to help you to bring inside your home and your spaces the creative genius of those artists who have been able to look at reality with extra-ordinary eyes and minds, proposing artworks that are superficially different among them, but are associated by the style, the artistic message and the divergent taste.


Pablo Picasso: Famous Works, Modern Artworks

To posses a cubist painting means also to see beyond the reality we know: this is the feeling that moved Picasso, without doubs the most important exponent of Cubism as movement.

Genius and Madness: Picasso's attitude was surely revolutionary.

The cubist painter and sculptor  wants to debate about everything a priori; not just the representation of the object or the subjects itself, but also the return of their plain substance and conscience, which are abstract by nature.

In order to understand the shock-effect that a Picasso can produce when on your wall, in addition to the notoriety of the artist, you could imagine the pointy geometry of his works combining with those of the interiors of your home.


Pablo Picasso: the Cubism of the Femme à Leur Toilette I

Among Picasso Drawings, this acquatint was realized in 1965 in edition of 50.

The theme of the "femme" is recurrent during the whole artistic career of the author, from youth till the more mature years.

Femme à Leur Toilette I represents two women, one in front of the other, painted with a fragmented and rough shilouette.

It recalls, like many other works, both the famous masterpiece Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, shown at the MoMa in New York, and to the renowned African Art of Picasso.

Georges Braque - Cubism: Trompe l’Œil, Collage, Naturalism

For Georges Braque Cubism is to give form to space by using geometric volumes.

With his plastic art Braque creates a new vision of the pictorial space.

The friendship between Braque and Picasso outlined the period defined as Analytic Cubism, which is based on the fragmentation of the represented surfaces and develops through the technique of collage.

With the passing of time, the abstractionism, which he had refused so much at the beginning, and the trompe l'œil technique took over and Braque Artworks became much more complex.

Our art gallery propose artworks of a later period of the artist, that came after the juvenile fury and the first World War, during which he was wounded.

Still life, landscapes, birds are the favourite themes, still mantaining the lines of the first period, with a style that is a bit softer and less aggressive.

The elegance of the artworks by a painter like Braque fills the empty spaces as if they were visuali melodies, that left a mark through art history.


Paintings by Georges Braque: Grey Sky I

Thin and dry lines, sharp angles, simple crossing geometries: It may seems like the abstractionism proper of young Braque could put you in front of a difficult interpretation; this is not the case.

Referring to minimal art, Grey Sky I represents flying birds, so dear to the artist, in a grey sky that instills calm and tranquility.

More artworks by Georges Braque: Yellow Bird

Another Georges Braque litograph proposed by Deodato Gallery, still from a later period of the artist, is Yellow Bird.

This Artwork as well shows again the classic naturalistic theme realized in Cubist style.

Compared to Grey Sky I, Braque painting Yellow Bird is more realistic, also for the use of colours.

The simplicity of the work can be noticed in the shapes and in the use of primary colours, of the black and white, but also in the choice of the subject, a dove, as reference of purity.

A unique piece in all its primordial innocence.

Romero Britto: Pop Art Paintings and Sculptures - Cubism

Peculiar personality, as peculiar is his art, is surely Romero Britto.

Bright and strong coloured Pop Art artworks , geometric shapes which recall Picasso's and Braque's Cubist structures, while mixing also with the language of Street Art.

Romero Britto differs from Picasso and Braque, of whom he is a great fan, for the direct, spontaneous and clear message (and obviously the historic period).

Moreover, he abandos every form of negativity or apprehension: he proclaims himself as herald of "warmth, optimism and love" as cited by the New York Times.

If you are looking for a reason to have in your home or office a Britto painting or a sculpture, one work will be enough for you to be fascinated by this odd, but also happy, lively and enthusiastic interpratation of Cubism.


Paintings Romero Britto: The Hug

The Hug - Romero Britto - CubismThe peculiar format of the painting The Hug by Romero Britto expresses perfectly the message: to involve anyone who is observing within its loving hug made of colours, hearts and shapes.

Romero Britto surprises everyone with his carefree world and, through it, he gives part of his joy, hoping it to become part of your life, along with his work The Hug.


Sculptures Romero Britto: Big Apple

Romero Britto Big Apple CubismBig Apple by Romero Britto represents an apple, with stalk and leaf, outlined by different lines and patterns: an amazing example of visual art that turns into a cubist sculpture, a transition from two to three dimension.

With Big Apple, Britto has made real what could have seemed absurd: to palasticize cubist art- the same that proposed the destruction of the third or fourth dimensions- yet mantaining its characteristics.

An unordinary sculpture for its very nature.
