Let's look closely at this painting by Georges Braque!
Four questions to consider:
- Is this painting a landscape, portrait, or still life (hint: look at the title)?
- Can you discern the bottle and glasses mentioned in the title of the painting? What other items do you see in the painting?
- How would you describe the shapes and lines in the painting? Why do you think this style of art is called "Cubism?"
- How would you describe the color palette?
