Violin, Bottle Flowers in a Glass and Eight of Spades 1919

"Violin, Bottle Flowers in a Glass and Eight of Spades" (1919) by Louis Marcoussis is a Cubist still life painting that exemplifies the movement's focus on geometric shapes and fragmented perspectives. The composition is a playful interplay of flat, brightly colored planes, with a violin, a vase of flowers, and a playing card juxtaposed against a backdrop of bold, striped patterns. This work showcases Marcoussis's mastery of Cubist principles, creating a dynamic and visually captivating experience for the viewer.
