- Synopsis
- This is an image based on an early cubist picture, painted in 1909 by Spanish artist Pablo Picasso. It is a landscape showing a brick factory with three palm trees in the background. The forms in the picture have been broken down into simple geometric shapes, and perspective has been distorted so that objects are seen from several viewpoints at once. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. Most of the colours in the picture are warm yellows, oranges and browns giving the impression of a landscape bathed in hot Spanish sunshine. The sun is shining from the right but cannot be seen, as it is out of the frame (border) of the picture. It lights the right hand sides of the buildings. The factory is seen from a high viewpoint. In the tactile version of the picture, the factory buildings are shown with two textures: a light dotted texture for the parts lit by the sun and a heavy vertically lined texture for the unlit areas. They have a heavy, thick outline. We have added a clear area around the buildings to make them easier to find. In the top centre of the image is the factory's chimney. To the left are the tops of two palm trees with their leaves fanning out from the tops of their trunks down the page. There is another tree to the right of the chimney. The factory buildings stretch across the page in the central part of the image with another large block in the bottom right corner. The remainder of the painting shows various areas of colour (textures in the tactile version) suggesting shadows, roads and earth.
