Once again, I am using the web sites: Spoon Graphics and Tuts Plus to show you some amazing tutorials and examples of how to create Poly Art, (originally known as Cubism, but the portrait to the left that is taken from the Geometric Poly Portrait Tutorial below, is a modern riff off of Cubism that also combines the work of Henri Matisse.) To understand Cubism please research Pablo Picasso, George Braque, and Marcel Duchamp's Nude Descending A Stair Case as well as watch this video: Understanding Cubism Video.

Portrait of Pablo Picasso by Juan Gris, 1912

by lindsey | May 16, 2013 | art history, Art Institute in Chicago, painting |

A painter paints another painter in this picture, a man in blue holding a palette of colors. And since this is Picasso, it’s done in a style based off of his own. His figure is disjointed and geometricized, turned into shining cubes of color that hold pieces of a nose here and an ear there. It’s like looking at a realistic work by Picasso through an organized kaleidoscope.

Juan Gris was a Spanish painter and sculptor who met Picasso in France after moving to Paris in 1906. Gris regarded Picasso as a teacher, but Gertrude Stein wrote “Juan Gris was the only person whom Picasso wished away.”
