✨ Fragment to better reveal: the expressive power of the cubist portrait

In the world of cubism, the portrait ceases to be a mere likeness: it becomes a visual reconstruction, an intellectual analysis of the face, the structure, and the essence of a being. Through geometric shapes, multiple angles, and overlapping planes, cubist artists gave birth to bewildering, powerful, and deeply modern portraits.
At Alpha Reproduction, we offer you a selection of icons of Cubist portraiture, entirely hand-painted in oil, faithful to the avant-garde spirit of this movement.

🧑🎨 What is a cubist portrait?

The cubist portrait was born from the desire to represent a person from multiple angles simultaneously, by deconstructing traditional forms.
Appearing with Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque at the beginning of the 20th century, it evolves from analytical cubism (fine and monochrome fragmentation) to synthetic cubism (simplified forms and bright colors).
The portrait then becomes a mental construction, a play between appearance and interiority, between the seen object and the felt emotion.
