Compare and contrast Georges Braque’s Houses at l’Estaque with Pablo Picasso’s Guitar.
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. In Houses at l’Estaque, Georges Braque defines the rocks, buildings, and trees of the landscape with the planar surfaces of geometric shapes that are characteristic of Cubist painting.
2. Rather than using perspective, Braque constructs a sense of ambiguous space by rhythmically stacking the subject matter across the picture surface.
3. Unlike previous sculpture that was carved or modeled, Pablo Picasso’s Guitar is constructed from pieces of sheet metal.
4. Like the stacked geometric forms of Cubist painting, Picasso’s Guitar overlaps the organic and geometric shapes of the metal sheets to form an abstracted guitar.
