Definition of Style & Subject Matter:
Cubism was a highly influential visual arts style of the 20th century that was created principally by the painters Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque in Paris between 1907 and 1914. The Cubist style emphasized the flat, two-dimensional surface of the picture plane, rejecting the traditional techniques of perspective, foreshortening, modeling, and chiaroscuro and refuting time-honoured theories of art as the imitation of nature. Cubist painters were not bound to copying form, texture, colour, and space; instead, they presented a new reality in paintings that depicted radically fragmented objects, whose several sides were seen simultaneously.
Typical cubist paintings frequently show letters, musical instruments, bottles, pitchers, glasses, newspapers, still lifes, and the human face and figure.
First one: It would be on Sol
Second one: No. It would be on La. The note is B. And is a Bflat
(I don't know Bass Clef as well. I play Alto Sax, which uses Treble Clef. So please forgive me)
Third one: It would be A flat
Fourth one: It would be C then C flat
(Again, I don't know Bass Clef that well, so don't count on my answers)
I think, based on the options provided for the answers that the correct response would be (d). As a focus of producing works with the physical form was not permitted. There are a few schools of thought on the subject... one is that only god can create the physical form so to do so would be as though you are aligning yourself at gods level and his creativity. While another thought is that the figure form is not allowed due the a concern that the art might then promote idolatry which was seen as a contradiction of the oneness of God. So while some patterns express symmetry they are not minimally colored and are quite the opposite. It is thought that the geometric patterns are more representational as a reflection of God’s infinite creations and should allow for spiritual contemplation and growth... which leads me to believe (d) is the correct choice.
