Museums in Paris: Centre Georges Pompidou #1 (Part 3 of 3)

Le Cubisme continues.

As the Cubist movement developed, the degree of abstract increased over time.



Many other painters in France also embraced Cubism, including Robert Delaunay and Marc Chagall.  (Chagall denied his paintings were Cubist.  You can decide for yourself.)



We were struck by the similarity of Braque's and Picasso's paintings.  They painted side by side, experimenting with the same subject, with similar results--like the next three paintings.








We thoroughly enjoyed the exhibition.  Greg likes Cubist art because of the twofold challenge to understand the image that the artist is interpreting and the underlying message.  

Thanks for visiting the Pompidou and the Cubism exhibition with us.
