ART WEEK: CUBISTS

One of my favorite art movements of the early 20th century is Cubism. The concept of stopping time and showcasing multiple vantage points on a flat picture plane always appealed to how I experience space. MOMA has a sizable gallery displaying select Cubist works. 

Photos of these pieces do not do them justice. The colors and forms are as fresh today as when they where painted almost a century ago. Of course, MOMA showcases the classic masters, Braque, Gris and Picasso, but I liked seeing lesser know artists grouped into the time periods. I wish I had jotted down the names, but still wanted to showcase the vibrant abstractions. There definitely seems to be a resurgence in geometric abstraction amidst contemporary art today. Even the MOMA storefront featured a cubist window display!

Love the awesome search feature on Moma's homepage that helps peruse their grandiose collection in detail.
