Violin and Candle stick

This work embodies the dynamic and energetic qualities of Analytic Cubism, a revolutionary artistic style
pioneered by Georges Braque and Picasso to depict three-dimensional objects on a flat canvas without
the use of traditional Renaissance perspective.

Violin and Candlestick was an outcome of Georges' obsession for form and stability, fuelled with a desire
to create an illusion in a viewer's mind to move around freely within the painting. To achieve this, the
painter conglomerated the subjects at the centre of a grid like armature & covered the boundaries of
the black-outlined objects using earth-toned colors. Thereby, he managed to transform the volumes of
static to hold compound surfaces on a flat plane, enabling onlookers to appreciate more of form
compared to any other angle. Recognizing and understanding the effects of light astutely to elicit the
appropriate emotions and effects of the subjects also served as a vital parameter for Braque's Violin and
Candlestick.

Fauvism /fʊvism/ is the style of les Fauves (French for "the wild beasts"), a group of early 20th-
century modern artists whose works emphasized painterly qualities and strong color over
the representational or realistic values retained by Impressionism. While Fauvism as a style
began around 1904 and continued beyond 1910, the movement as such lasted only a few years,
1905–1908, and had three exhibitions.[1][2] The leaders of the movement were André
Derain and Henri Matisse.

Impressionism is a 19th-century art movement characterized by relatively small, thin, yet visible

brush strokes, open composition, emphasis on accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities
(often accentuating the effects of the passage of time), ordinary subject matter, inclusion
of movement as a crucial element of human perception and experience, and unusual visual angles.
Impressionism originated with a group of Paris-based artists whose independent exhibitions brought
them to prominence during the 1870s and 1880s.

Fauve painting – use of intense and unnatural color.

 In Cubist artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form—
instead of depicting objects from a single viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of
viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context
