Stock Photo - Roger de La Fresnaye: Married Life (La Vie conjugale), Roger de La Fresnaye, 1913, Oil on canvas, French painter Roger de La Fresnaye absorbed the cubist vocabulary developed by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. He was a member of the Section d'Or, the group of artists who, in 1911, first brought cubism to the attention of the public by exhibiting their works at the Salon. In the cubism of de la Fresnaye, objects from the natural world are translated into stylized forms; here, for example, fingers take on the same shape as a pile of books. Painted in 1913, this work seems to sum up the standard roles assigned to men and women in representation. With a newspaper open on his lap, the fully clothed man participates in the realm of culture and intellect, while the woman, her naked body in dreamy repose, is all physical sensuality., Overall: 47 x 59 1/2 in.
