This is an image I created for my Art GCSE of a statue in my home town of Lancaster. As you can see it is very much influenced by the work of early cubists, such as Picasso and Braque. As you can see the image has been broken up and then reassembled to create an image which is in the perspective of multiple viewpoints, rather than the singular one the human eye would normally see. By using multiple viewpoints, we are also able to see more things within the image which we wouldn’t normally see.
As you can see there are buildings on both right and left sides of the image, creating almost a line around the image, resulting in there appearing to be a single point of perspective. However, as the main statue is in front of where this point, the ‘line’ appears to emphasise the statue as the main object in the image.
From this I can see that the influence from earlier artists could be very important in constructing an image, as this image clearly plays homage to the work of cubists. Composition pays a big role in pointing out what is active and what is passive within an image.
