Analytical Cubism Began 1908 to 1912 Exploration of a subject’s pure form Mentally broke the subject into flat planes and arranged them in complex, overlapping relationships Georges Braque (French, 1882-1963). Violin and Palette (Violon et palette), September 1, 1909. Oil on canvas.
Limited Monochormatic Palette grays, browns, dark greens, ochre, dark yellows maintains an emotionless scene Picasso's Ma Jolie from 1912 is a classic example of this technique.
"high" Analytic Cubism (1910–12), also called hermetic Candlestick and Playing Cards on a Table, Autumn 1910 Georges Braque (French, 1882–1963)Oil on canvas
The composition of this small oval painting consists of clearly defined Cubist planes in hues of brown and ocher highlighted by black and white.
At the center can be identified the corner of a table upon which rests the round base of a brass candlestick
and, at the right, two playing cards —the ace of hearts and the six of diamonds.
This still life presents one of the earliest instances of Braque's choice of an oval format.
Soon, both Braque and Picasso would make frequent use of this shape. Woman with a Mandolin (Georges Braque ,1910)
In rectangular Analytic Cubism, planes and facets of forms concentrate in the center of a composition, Still Life with a Bottle of Rum, 1911Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881–1973)Oil on canvas
and the corners remain relatively empty. Still Life with a Pair of Banderillas, Summer 1911Georges Braque (French, 1882–1963)Oil on canvas
An oval format avoids such corners, and therefore Braque and Picasso sometimes favored this shape. The Clarinet (La clarinette), summer-fall 1912. Oil with sand on fine linen canva
Picasso and Braque so abstracted their works that they were reduced to just a series of overlapping planes and facets mostly in monochromatic browns, grays, or blacks. In their work from this period, Picasso and Braque frequently combined representational motifs with letters
Their favorite motifs were still lifes with musical instruments, bottles, pitchers, glasses, newspapers, playing cards and the human face. Landscapes were rare.
These quasi-scientific and mathematical interests were linked with the ‘hermetic sciences’, the occult and alchemy………….
