Gethsemane

I made a copy of a piece by a guy named Jorge Cocco Santángelo. I’ve never given Cubism much thought, but something about this one struck me. I realized in the process that focusing closely enough to make a copy means focusing closely enough to notice things you would otherwise miss, like how the cubist composition means all the elements of the scene are bound together. I thought I might try my own original design, and quickly realized I was in over my head. I have a newfound respect for Cubism after doodling a copy for a few hours.
