Robert Marc, a 20th-century artist, encountered Cubism in the 1960s at the Musée d'Art Moderne, drawing inspiration from Braque and Picasso. His work, Composition cubiste, showcases abstract forms, primary colors, and geometric shapes like circles, arcs, rectangles, and squares, creating rhythm and dynamism on the canvas. Despite the constructed appearance of his paintings, Marc did not engage in extensive preparatory studies.
