Analytic Cubism Finished

My finished work

Today I finished my analytic cubism work. I am quite satisfied with it, although I do not think it had the charactersitics i was going for, as, reflecting on it now afterwards, were more suitable for synthetic cubism, which consisted of bolder and simpler forms, instead of black, browns, grey and off-whites. I therefore feel that I am happy with how it turned out. The contours of the objects were nice and smooth, contrasting well with the hard, straight lines dividing them.

What I could have improved was that I could have graded my empty spaces and used mere relief in order  to create a stronger 3D effect. I could also have made sure to smudge it less.

I really think the newspaper collages worked well and were nicely incorporated in my work, especially after I smudged them a little using the charcoal. The clippings looked like they fit well, while at the same time creating variation in my artwork. I feel the other variations and backgrounds worked well, too.
