About the Item

Jozef Popczyk Cubist Art Deco Painting Still Life oil on poster board. Joseph Popczyk Polish artist known for his vivid palette and love of Cubism, and in this case, the chevrons and wavy patterns of Art Deco can also be detected. The artist was born in Poland and — like many of his contemporaries in Eastern Europe — gravitated toward Paris in the 1910s. There, he loved to depict the flash and jazz of club life in Paris, always with verve and energy. This still life has great elements: drinking glasses, guitar (stringed instrument) and an over-all essence of Jazz movement in Paris. Born in Poland, he came to Paris around 1915 and painted in an academic style. Later around 1930 he changed stylistically to a devotee of Cubism and produced an exceptional body of work. The painting was signed and dated 1926 which is a very early work. The style and dynamic use of color exemplify the cubist style’s enthusiasm and excitement. Joseph Popczyk’s art, with its vivid palette, Cubist influences, and nods to Art Deco, represents a fusion of different artistic styles and a response to the tumultuous events of his time. His unique approach and contribution to the art world make him an important figure in the history of Polish art and the broader European artistic landscape of the early 20th century. In addition to his vibrant palette, Popczyk incorporated elements of Cubism into his work. Cubism, developed by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, revolutionized the art world in the early 20th century. It emphasized the deconstruction and abstraction of forms, simultaneously presenting objects from multiple viewpoints. Popczyk’s paintings showcased fragmented forms and geometric shapes, reminiscent of the Cubist style.
