"In Braque's paintings, collages, and prints, the polymath set out to distill bucolic landscapes and rural village scenes as broken up and then re-assembled geometric compositions; decidedly abstract yet still slightly recognizable representations. Through this revolutionary approach, he examined how objects could be depicted from multiple perspectives-multiple sources of light-as if superimposed portrayals of the same setting rendered at different times of day."
"This ever-refined exploration was not merely a refute of the established artistic conventions that had come before but a response to the ever speed-up advancement of technology defining the era; a mutation of Impressionism-that emerged when the camera replaced the need for realistic illustration or the attempt thereof."
"The new speaker comprises two seamlessly interconnected by slightly contrasted cubes. As a nod to Braque's mastery of duality, the device is precision engineered in both plywood and steel, the base in the latter and the main cone encasement in the former."
George Braque, often overshadowed by Picasso, was instrumental in establishing Cubism, an early 20th-century art movement that broke down landscapes and scenes into geometric compositions viewable from multiple perspectives and light sources. His work represented a response to technological advancement and evolved from Impressionism. Braque's approach examined how objects could be depicted as superimposed portrayals rendered at different times. A new stereo system by Swedish brand Nocs and designer Daniel Alm pays tribute to Braque's artistic vision. The speaker comprises two interconnected cubes precision-engineered in plywood and steel, with the steel base hand-cut, welded, and brushed for a bespoke patina, while the plywood component is assembled in Estonia with unified matte coating.
