Favory gray rocks" Find a collection of cubist and early works by André Favory on the site www.andrefavory.fr In 1913, André Favory went to Brittany, where he experimented with cubism. He is there with the painters Le Fauconnier, Conrad Kickert and Yves Alix. Ploumanach and Perros-Guirec with their entanglement of rocky masses constitute a framework favorable to research on cubism. André Favory goes beyond the representation of reality and introduces a volume treatment of forms. Cubist cliff in Perros-Guirec lets glimpse the work of geometrization of the rocks, the sea, the sky. Strict form work, however, does not take precedence over color; color and form take on equal importance in the cubist language of André Favory.
