still life in front of the window 1925

"Still Life in Front of the Window" (1925) by French painter Georges Valmier (1885-1937) is a striking example of Synthetic Cubism, a style that developed from the Cubist movement and emphasizes geometric shapes and flat planes of color. The work features a still life arrangement of objects that appear to have been cut out and pasted together on a flat surface, highlighting the fragmented and abstract nature of the composition. Valmier's use of bold colors and contrasting patterns, as well as the inclusion of a window frame, create a sense of depth and space within the overall flatness of the image, making it a captivating example of this iconic art movement.
