Cubist Still Life

Cubist-style still life of a fragmented guitar, dice, and music sheet. The artist clearly pays tribute to artists such as Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, pioneers of the Cubist movement of the early 20th century. Cubist art represented reality and perception in multiple dimensions, rendering still life paintings abstracted yet recognisable.
