Still life with Knife - Georges Braque 1932.Braque radically abstracted the shapes of the objects in this still life: some are nothing but a single white line.The white linesare not painted; instead, Braque scratched them into the paint without necesarily following the contour of the painted shapes. He probably made the lines using the tip of a paintbrush.This was a technique that Matisse also used from time to time. Braque was interested in exploring the relationships between color, shape and line rather than capturing a realistic likeness of a specific still life.Source: The Oasis of Matisse (brochure) -- source link
