Violin and pallete
“Violin and Palette” is one of an early piece of Braque for Analytic Cubism. Analytic Cubism is a style dealing with broke down objects and paints them in a two-dimensional space from every angle. Braque painted from background to foreground, with the planes of each perspective connecting (artsconnected, 2009).
In “Violin and Palette,” Braque uses the Analytic Cubism approach to a violin, sheet music and artist’s palette vertically arranged in order to highlight the effect of breaking down the three-dimensional objects into two dimensions surface. The sheet music dissolves stave by stave into the background.
At the top of the painting, part of the palette hangs from a realistically displays nail that seems to be marched equally with a realistic shadow. This detail is depicted to represent a sense of the perspectives, and highlights the break the piece into geometrical forms which is a representational style of Cubism.
“Violin and Palette” is full of grays and tans which is almost a monochrome scheme. In this canvas, everything was fractured. The objects were just so many pieces of broken form. By breaking these objects into smaller elements, Braque was able to overcome the unified singularity of an object and instead transform it into an object of vision (Britt, D. 1999) Braque frequently included musical instruments in his painting as he believes that because they evoked an auditory dimension to the experience of viewing a painting (Tate, 2012)
