I've already mentioned 2 different ideas for my final concept
in the previous blogs, which both refer to all three categories; art, design
and film. I combined my initial ideas and managed to interpret most of them
through one concept. Since the subject
matter is Transformation, through the form of a painting I will represent the
transformation from the Post-Impressionist era to the Cubist period.

| Picasso, Girl before a mirror, 1932 |
I will create a different interpretation of Picasso’s
painting ‘Girl before a mirror’ (1932). The two figures shown will represent
Post-Impressionism and Cubism. Since Picasso was inspired from Cezanne, the
figure on the left should be in a Post-Impressionist style, while the other
figure reflected in the mirror should be in the Cubist style, therefore the
same figure is represented in two different styles.
The film ‘The Four Feathers’ took the colour red to symbolize various actions and occurrences through the film. All of the British
Army was dressed in red. I will definitely give a great dominance to this
colour in my painting.
As a background, I have decided to use Picasso’s motif in
the Synthetic part of Cubism, where he places actual images related to the
theme on the painting. I've decided to have the background full of newspaper cuttings placed in
a random manner with words related to this concept such as; Paul Cezanne,
Cubism, Pablo Picasso and The Four Feathers.
