Favory sketch for a landscape" Find a collection of cubist and youth 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 entanglements of rocky masses constitute a favorable framework for research on cubism. André Favory goes beyond the representation of reality and introduces a treatment in volume of forms, a work of geometrization of the rocks, the sea and 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.
