More about this artwork

The painting "Fugue" conducted by Georges Valmier around 1920, eloquently harmonizes the cubist art movement's exploration of form and color. This artwork compels viewers to delve into a mosaic of geometric abstraction, illustrating Valmier's unique interpretation of the style.Centered in the piece is an almost musical arrangement of shapes that seem to dance across an elongated oval canvas. The composition features a variety of forms including triangles, rectangles, and curves, interspersed with lines that create a sense of movement and depth. Each shape overlaps and interacts with others, contributing to an overall sense of orchestrated dynamism.Color plays a foundational role in "Fugue." The palette is rich and varied, with deep greens, bold reds, calming blues, and soothing purples, each adding a distinct tone to the visual 'melody' that Valmier creates. The way these colors interplay and contrast with each other further enhances the vibrancy of the piece.In conclusion, Georges Valmier’s "Fugue" is a captivating example of cubism that transcends simple representation to evoke the complexity of a musical fugue through visual means.

Georges Valmier (11 April 1885 – 25 March 1937) was a French painter. His work encompassed the great movements in the modern history of painting, starting with Impressionism in his early years, then Cubism which he discovered when he was around 25 years old, and finally Absstractionism from 1921. He also designed sets and costumes for theater and ballet, and models for fabrics, carpets, and other objects. His oil paintings do not exceed 300 in number, since Valmier died prematurely at the age of 51. His paintings were the culmination of many preparatory drafts in gouaches, multiple versions of which are works in themselves and reflect his penchant for colors and inventive shapes. Valmier was also a musician. He performed the works of Debussy, Ravel, Fauré, and Satie at major concerts and in churches, and had a decisive influence on the career of André Jolivet.
