Cubist Market Scene with 10 portraits
The frenetic pace of a busy French market is brilliantly and creatively interpreted by Walt Louderback in his own version of Cubism. Louderback creates a circular composition that integrates his stylized figures while they are performing their daily tasks. The figures are reduced to flat interlocking shapes which artfully coalesce to form a whole.
with a desaturated palette. At first view, they seem abstract but with further study their identities and behaviors are revealed. In time, the viewer solves the Louderback puzzle and is delighted doing it.

Edmund D. Kinzinger was born in 1888, to an upper-middle class family in Pforzhein, Germany. In Munich he studied at the Kirr Schule and the Staatliche Akademie, and pursued graduate studies at the Academie Modern, Paris. Before serving in the German Army, Kinzinger was a master student of Adolph Holzel at the Staatcliche Akademie, Stuttgart; he returned to study under Henrich Waldschmidt after nearly five years of artillery service. Several of Kinzinger’s fellow students in Germany, such as Johannes Itten, would go on to be associated with the Bauhaus school. Coming into contact with all manner of artistic influences in Europe after World War One, Kinzinger’s work may be viewed as a “synthesis” of modernist styles. The influences of Abstract Expressionist, Cubist, and Futurist styles in Kinzinger’s work at this time are symptomatic of his contact with the likes of Hans Hofmann, Pablo Picasso, and Alexander Archipenko.

Their poetic mood springs less from his use of saturated, luminous colors and evocative forms and more from some undeniable power of perception drawn from his sense of the mystery of life. This mystic moodiness has its roots in personal inspirations. In this, Kinzinger drew upon German landscape painting...
