Collage, still life with black head (oil painting (visual work); John Piper; 1933) | |
Note: "Collage, still life with black head" shows Piper exploring the alternatives to conventional picture-making represented by the still-life collages of Braque and Picasso. Piper had met Braque in about 1927, and seen Picasso’s collage works in Paris. The window sill still life was a compositional device that allowed a flattening of the picture space, and here the sill is so steeply tilted as to afford only a glimpse of the sea and passing steamer. The picture’s surface is further emphasised by variously coloured, patterned or textured still-life objects, both painted and collaged. A framing cartouche of incised, wavy lines (a technique used by Braque) confirms Piper’s intention for the work to function as a decorative object rather than a window on the world. Common to this group of works is Piper’s witty use of paper doilies to represent the lace curtains that frame the window. | |
