Married Life, 1912
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Roger de La Fresnaye that offers a glimpse into the complexities of matrimony in the early 20th century. The artwork, measuring 98.9x118.7 cm, can be found at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minnesota, USA. In this intriguing piece, La Fresnaye skillfully combines elements of cubism with an intimate domestic scene. A man and woman are depicted sitting together in their home, engrossed in their own activities yet sharing a space filled with books and newspapers. The couple's body language suggests both familiarity and distance as they navigate married life. The woman sits on a chair reading a newspaper while elegantly smoking a cigarette, exuding an air of sophistication and independence. Meanwhile, her husband is seen partially nude at the dining table enjoying his meal - perhaps symbolizing vulnerability or relaxation within the confines of marriage. La Fresnaye's use of cubist techniques adds depth to the composition; fragmented forms and geometric shapes create an abstracted representation of reality. This artistic approach challenges traditional notions of representation while offering insight into the multifaceted nature of human relationships. Overall, "Married Life" invites viewers to reflect on themes such as gender roles, intimacy, and personal identity within the context of marriage during this period. It serves as a testament to La Fresnaye's talent for capturing complex emotions through his unique artistic style.
