Glass and Plate of Apples
Human Condition
Similarities: Similar color palette
Differences: simple, attachment to ''homely, everyday objects''
Still life with a Violin and a Pitcher by Braque relates to the human condition that life is just life and you have to make the best of what you have. There is only a flat surface contrived by the artist to give the illusion of space and depth to the art piece just like it is up to yourself to create things in your life and make it worth more than what it appears to be. You are the owner of your life and it's up to you to take apart the world and reassemble it in anyway you like.

Communication
- there is only a flat surface contrived by the artist to give the illusion of space and depth
- depicted the nail at the top of the canvas in an illusionistic manner
- The segmented parts of the violin, the sheets of music, and the artist's palette are vertically arranged
- the nail is not in the same space as the pitcher and violin
- imagine you could reach behind the violin or between it and the pitcher
- That nail is Braque laughing. He’s saying, “Gotcha!” You got caught up in the illusion that the canvas is a window. And it’s not. It’s a playspace for a very clever artist.“Oops!” he says, “I did it again!” and that's Cubism
