CUBISM UNBOUND
Cubism evolved from Analytic to Synthetic in the period beginning circa 1907 until 1914. In the first phase (Analytic), the paintings where mostly sharp edged sepia tone. In the later phase (Synthetic), color and collage were introduced. The objective throughout was to break with the representational painting of the past. The cubists (Picasso, Braque et al), drew attention to the 2 dimensionality of the flat canvas, by showing 360° of viewpoints simultaneously. The 360° points of view were from an earthbound perspective. Feet on the ground going around an object. Just as cubism unbound from its representational predecessor to more reflect the modern world, this project attempts to unbound cubism by adding the dimension of views from overhead looking straight down. I have taken architecture as my subject and have combined earthbound 360° photography with aerial straight down view drone photography, and combining and abstracting the simultaneous view to present a new visual experience…Cubism Unbound.
