2018年6月15日 · Musical instruments had been a central motif of the Still Life genre from the Renaissance to the Dutch Golden Age. Many of the leading figures of the Cubist movement would have first studied draughtsmanship in these very works in academies and art schools during the late nineteenth century.

Cubism is an early-20th-century avant-garde art movement begun in Paris that revolutionized painting and the visual arts, and influenced artistic innovations in music, ballet, literature, and architecture.

Both paintings are of musical instruments. The first is by Edward Collier and was painted in the seventeenth century. The second is by cubist Georges Braque.

These paintings and drawings are of extraordinary importance in the history of Modern Art. Approximately seventy-five paintings and dozens of drawings were the primary artistic building blocks for the movement we now know as Cubism. Picasso, Braque and Gris painted the majority of their Cubist works from still lifes.

As art historian Lewis Kachur has noted, dozens of these instruments populate the artist’s Cubist still-life paintings, including clarinets, harps, guitars, mandolas, mandolins, tenoras, and violins.

The artwork titled “Musical Instruments” created by Georges Braque in 1908 is a quintessential example of the Cubist movement. This oil on canvas piece measures 50 by 61 centimeters and is classified as a still life. Currently, it is housed at the Kunstmuseum Basel in Basel, Switzerland.
