Auguste Herbin
15. Auguste Herbin: Still Life, 1912
Second phase of Cubism. The attack on perspective. Multiplicity of perspective points. The volume recedes as the surface becomes more important. The description is broken up into a number of small, distinct surfaces. Herbin has gone beyond the first phase of Cubism, that of volume.
16. Auguste Herbin: Still Life, 1919
Third phase of Cubism. This painting is beginning to express the new system of plastic creation in time. We are beginning to be able to perceive the rhythm of movement.
