Some time back I had snapped this picture at a local street
festival when a musician laid down his double bass for an intermission. The image had good visual detail and creative
potential, so I attempted to apply Cubist concepts in the form of distorted
perspective, abstracted shapes, deconstructed imagery, and alternate
colors. Since I really enjoy play with
color, that part came easily, but I struggled with the planer aspects of Cubism
and being looser with the composition. This
is what I came up with.
In the end this challenge helped me appreciate Cubism as the
profoundly groundbreaking moment it was and the instrumental role it played
(and continues to play) in modern art.
Feedback is welcomed.

This looks as if it was grown, not made..
The inversion of colours is most successful too.
I cropped it (can't post the image) and preferred a smaller border.. I think the image is strong enough not to need it
I love this. Your interpretation of this instrument using cubism concepts is phenomenal. I love the border fabric, but I agree with Helen that it could have been somewhat narrower to let the strength of the image dominate. Beautiful work!! Pam Clark
wonderful interpretation of the theme. Obviously you put a lot of thought into it and produced a very well done piece. I thoroughly love the colours, but agree that a narrower border would have enhanced the focus of the piece.
