Painting Analysis

The name of the painting is Nature Morte aux Nombreux Objets by the artist and architect Le Corbusier. This was created in 1923, during the cubism period. The meaning of his painting is supposed to illustrate the Still Life with many objects. His intention for this painting was purity and simplicity. Le Corbusier loved to brake his own rule when it comes to this painting. The object seems completely flat or as they said “without relief ” but in one object towards the bottom there’s a brown glass that gives the impression that we are seeing it in two different angles.

What I want my project to be representing are Natural elements given by the pallet I created. The fact that the name of the painting is Still Life, and the meaning behind that is purity, I want to stay true to it. I want natural elements, natural color, natural shapes, natural movement, all based, or with the help of water. The way each shape will be represented due to the color palette, it will identify my shapes and their role; the way water acts, the way the water takes shape, what would be excavations for water or what would be a part of the landscape.

Here we found the centroid of each shape and marked it in the char. Along with that, we also separated the shapes and created individual charts, to better understand their location.

These are axonometric drawings determining the place of my vessels located by the painting’s background, mid-ground, and for-ground.
