Alfred Stieglitz by Marius Zayas
Zayas was primarily a Dadaist. The reason I am posting this is to show how the object became broken down in a non-cubist way. Mathematic equations were a staple of Zayas art. Zayas portraiture followed this method:
- The spirit of the individual was to be represented by algebraic formulae
- his material self by “geometrical equivalents,” and
- his initial force by “trajectories within the rectangle that encloses the plastic expression and represents life.”
Zayas was a fascinating art philosopher. I highly recommend reading a bit about him.
