Violin and Pitcher
Georges Braque’s Violin and Pitcher shows a combining of ideas and the beginning of analytical cubism. This work is perhaps Braque’s first break away from faceting purely to display subject matter and towards a style where facets flow of a logic of their own.The work of Paul Cezanne led the way for paintings like Violin and Pitcher. Cezanne was interested in the way light reacted to form rather than what it was lighting: the form itself. Cezanne also began to explore the object that the viewer knows to exist in the painting; not just the view of the object gained by looking at it from one angle. Cezanne’s work was largely known as impressionism. His impressionist paintings such as Basket with Apples, Bottle, Biscuits and Fruit were the beginning of what would become Violin and Pitcher. The unnatural tilting of the plate’s surface made way for the multiple viewpoints in the violin and the lack of form or outline in the fruit the eventual faceting. The subject matter of Violin and Pitcher can’t be read immediately due to the rather heavy fragmentation. An obvious clue is the painting’s title and upon inspection the viewer can soon find the violin in the foreground and the pitcher somewhere in the midground. Beyond the violin
