After the Second World War, Constant starts to experiment with a cubist painting style. Of the two founders of cubism, Picasso and Braque, Constant feels more akin with the latter. It is often said that the cubist work of Braque maintains a sense of balance and harmony while Picasso strived for disruption in his art. Constant’s ‘Portret van Matie’ is indeed a fine example from Constant’s body of work of a balanced harmony of shapes, as seen in Braque’s cubism. (www.stichtingconstant.nl)
