Susan's First Post!

Yesterday we went to the museum!!!!! Our assignment was to find 9 pieces of art which could be classified as cubist. This was a much more challenging feat than we thought it would be. In the end we came away with perhaps five works of art which we felt could be called cubist, and a few 'possibilities'.

These are the pieces of art that we selected:




1. Clouds Above The Sea IV
1942 Oil on Canvas
by Lyonel Feininger
(New York 1871-1956)












2. Edge of the Woods
1928 Oil on Canvas
by Lyonel Feininger
(NY 1871-1956)














3. Nude Woman Leaning On A Table
1917 Oil on Canvas
by Jean Metzinger
(Nantes 1883-Paris 1956)




















4. Embrace
1971 Oil on Canvas
by Pablo Picasso
(Malaga 1881 - Mougins 1973)























5. L'Estaque
1913 Oil on Canvas

(Le Havre 1877 - Forcalquier 1953)











6. Babylonian Nun and Priest
1948 Oil on Canvas
