Auguste Herbin (1882–1960) was a French painter known for his role in the development of abstract art, particularly geometric abstraction. He was a key figure in the Cubism and later the Abstract art movements. Herbin’s early works were influenced by Fauvism and Cubism, but he eventually became known for his more structured, geometric compositions.
“Still Life” by Auguste Herbin is an example of his early work, where he was influenced by Cubism and Fauvism. Before fully transitioning into abstract art, Herbin produced a number of still-life paintings that featured simplified forms and a bold use of color, typical of the early 20th-century avant-garde movement.
