The Palette View enables you to fine-tune the palette. Ideally, the subject image should be high contrast, with well defined areas of light and shadow as well as broad areas of color. The filter won't necessarily work well with every image you throw at it, and won't produce the best result on just a click of a button. ![]() Once you have found a candidate, fine tune the image via the controls. Synthetic Cubism or just a cubist impostor? Decide for yourself! Tips: - This filter heavily relies on the randomizer to bring up interesting variations in the collage. Now when it comes to color, I'd say by this time (1921), Picasso had been adding color for several years.A filter that disintegrates your image and reassembles it into a pseudo-cubist style collage/paintin g. This treatment of space carried over to works such as the 2 versions of "Three Musicians" and radically overturned the "view through a window" concept of perspectival space which dominated art since the Renaissance. One element common to both analytic and synthetic cubist work is the artists' respecting the two dimensionality of the painting surface and the building up of planar structures towards the center of the canvas - much like a relief projecting from a wall (this approach can also be seen in Picasso's relief sculptures at the time, e.g., "Guitar"). By the time Picasso was working in Avignon in the summer of 1914, planar structure was in full swing and an element of surrealism was present in Picasso's work (but not, apparently, in Braque's). I have to point out that this wasn't an instantaneous change but happened somewhat gradually - but compared to the evolution of analytic cubism, the development of synthetic cubism from the end of 1912 to (for example) the spring of 1913 came at a faster rate. The discovery of papier colle spurred them on to evolve their work towards the use of larger, flat colorful planes. Well, Vale, I think a better way to express what was going on between 19 was that Braque and Picasso were increasing the use of fragmentation, lines and a general use of lozenge-shaped brushstrokes which led to near abstraction - a goal they wished to avoid. ![]() Of course all this was totally contrary to accepted ideas of "belle peinture" and sculpture! Now the artists could utilize flat, colorful panes in cubist relief-like space and this breakthrough had the side-effect of permitting Picasso to construct sculpture using found elements such as wood, tassles, metal pieces and other found objects in planar reliefs. ![]() "Papier colle" was the key to breaking the bond of tonally graded space. When Picasso was shown this (and similar) works, he was inspired to also experiment, affixing newspaper and colored papers to paper, adding watercolor, gouache and later on canvas, oil paint. He cut and glued some strips of this paper onto a sheet of white paper and finished the composition with charcoal - thus creating the first "papier colle" (glued paper). ![]() Both artists were in the south of France that summer tackling their aesthetic problems when, after Picasso's return to Paris, Braque happened to find a roll of wallpaper with a fake wood patter reminiscent of what he had been doing with decorator combs and paint. Both Picasso and Braque had found ways to liven up their compositions through stenciling, false marble and wood and the addition of sand, coffee grounds and other textures - all derived from Braque's expertise as a painter-decorator. Picasso and Braque had difficulty up until this time integrating color in their spatial compositions.At about this time Picasso tried to "break the old" by adding some small sections of local color (flags, etc.) by using Ripolin - which eliminated brushstrokes and brightened certain areas. If I recall correctly, up until around 1912 cubist paintings tended to have their planes tonally modulated, that's to say generally going from light to dark, with the works most frequently limited to black, white, browns, ochres and sometimes greens.
