More about this artwork

"Nature Morte No. 3" by Georges Valmier, painted in 1911, is a striking example of early Cubist experimentation. In this piece, Valmier departs from traditional representation to explore the essence of objects through geometric abstraction. The painting features a collection of seemingly everyday objects, perhaps items from a dining table or a kitchen, abstracted into a complex interplay of shapes and colors.The viewer can discern elements reminiscent of bottles, a pitcher, and possibly fruit or bowls, all reconstructed into angular, overlapping forms that challenge our perceptions of space and perspective. Valmier uses a muted yet varied palette, incorporating shades of green, orange, brown, and blue, which add depth and vibrancy to the composition. These colors not only segment the forms but also harmonize the disparate elements, suggesting connectivity amidst the fragmentation."Nature Morte No. 3" invites its audience to reconsider the ways in which we see the objects that inhabit our world. Through its fragmented geometry, Valmier encourages a visual dialogue between the viewer and the ordinary items he has transformed, offering a fresh perspective on the mundane.

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.
