By Zoe STILLPASS.
In Les Peintres Cubistes (1913), Guillaume Apollinaire wrote: "Above all, artists are men who want to become inhuman. They painstakingly search for traces of inhumanity, traces that are nowhere to be found in nature."
While painting since the Renaissance has sought to represent nature in a "realistic" way, Cubism, developed by Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso, set out to go beyond the limits of human perception to depict a deeper reality, beyond what is visible to the naked eye.
Georges Braque's Grand Nu (1907-1908) marked a turning point in this new way of seeing the world. This talk focuses on this emblematic painting from the collection in the context of Braque's work and, more broadly, the emergence of Cubism.
This lecture is free for Pass-M SOLO, Pass-M DUO and Pass-M Jeune members.
