Posters cubism

Cubism fragments faces, objects and landscapes into overlapping geometric planes, multiplying the angles of view on a single subject. Recomposed portraits, still lifes with faceted forms and palettes in ochre tones or vivid colours dress a wall with a graphic language recognisable among all others.

How to choose your cubism poster

Which cubism poster to choose?

Cubism breaks down forms, multiplies viewpoints on a single subject and recomposes space into geometric planes, and several registers clearly emerge from it:

  • Cubist portrait: face broken into geometric planes, features recomposed from several angles at once.
  • Cubist still life: guitar, glass, fruit or newspaper, faceted forms in flat colour.
  • Cubist landscape: roofs, streets and facades reduced to angular volumes.
  • Cubism poster in ochre and earth tones: muted palette typical of the analytical period.
  • Cubism poster in vivid colours: bold flat colours and sharp contrasts, a more decorative register.
  • Cubist-inspired collage: cut papers and fragments of lettering integrated into a still life.

The filters on the left narrow the choice by dominant colour, by style and by room.

Where to hang a cubism poster?

  • Living room: a large format above the sofa, for a wall that carries the motif from a distance.
  • Office: a cubist portrait in smaller formats, at eye level.
  • Dining room: a cubist still life, near the table.
  • Bedroom: an ochre-toned palette, calmer than a cubism in vivid colours.
  • Entrance or hallway: a vertical format, for a narrow passage.

Cubism poster in large format or as a polyptych?

A single large format suits a clear wall and highlights the geometric planes of a single composition. The polyptych, made up of four panels arranged 2x2, suits a wider wall and fragments the subject further, in the very spirit of cubism which multiplies viewpoints. The chosen format also depends on viewing distance: the smaller it is, the more the faceted forms remain legible up close.

Poster, print or artwork: what's the difference?

All three words here refer to the same thing: a printed image you hang on the wall. We call it a poster because we print on photo paper, never on canvas. The same image also exists on a metal plate, in several sizes.

  • With frame: black, white or light oak, assembled and ready to hang.
  • Without frame: the sheet alone, to slide into the frame you already have.
