Cubism and the Trompe l'Oeil Tradition Virtual Opening | Met Exhibitions

Join the exhibition’s curators Emily Braun and Elizabeth Cowling for a virtual tour of Cubism and the Trompe l’Oeil Tradition, which offers a radically new view of Cubism by demonstrating its engagement with the age-old tradition of trompe l’oeil painting. A self-referential art concerned with the nature of representation, trompe l’oeil (“deceive the eye”) beguiles the viewer with perceptual and psychological games that complicate definitions of truth and fiction. Along with Cubist paintings, sculptures, and collages, the exhibition presents canonical examples of European and American trompe l’oeil painting from the seventeenth through the nineteenth centuries.

Just watching it in video gets my hearth pumping with excitement, I can image what a pleasure it is to see it in real life.

[@annerichter4156]

The exhibit opens with a stunning sign: “Cubism” is painted to look like carved letters and the rest of the title positioned below is actually carved out. I have a feeling most people missed this. Sorry it didn’t get more notice. Anyone else notice it??? Great show and great sign.

[@sardonicsophisticate3974]

[@sasayourmoolz6479]

Picasso looks like he tried to glue the edge down. The edges are wrinkled from the glue. Am I wrong?

[@themarquis336]

I just think it’s funny Max Hollein can’t pronounce ‘trompe l’œil’. Bless his heart.😆

[@jaymatrixe]

i got bothered by it!

[@themarquis336]

[@MaxLib]

Not many Max’s can pronounce that word - it’s genetic - trust me.

[@Consrignrant]

Well, your "opinion" is worthless, don't you think? The question is why would think anyone cares about that moronic "opinion".

[@gerryholden]

Gave up after three minutes: couldn’t stand the intrusive music.

[@paulklee5790]

Not very resilient are we... best have a nice lie down and get over this terrible affront to your sensibilities... hope you recover soon.
