Cubist Portraits

Original cubist portraits by Daniel Michael Newland

The face, fractured and made whole again. These are original cubist portraits by Daniel Michael Newland, the artist pioneering digital cubism: figures and faces broken into planes, then reassembled so a single work holds several expressions, several angles, and several moods at once. Where a classical portrait fixes one look, a cubist portrait keeps them all in tension.

The collection ranges from the Belle Epoque energy of the Moulin works to expressive fractured caricatures and regal, ceremonial figures, all rendered in bold contemporary color. Each is an original, available as a museum-quality cubist portrait print on canvas, brushed aluminum, or acrylic glass, or as an instant digital download, with a signed certificate of authenticity.

Frequently asked questions

What is a cubist portrait?

A cubist portrait depicts a face or figure using cubist techniques: the subject is broken into geometric planes and shown from several viewpoints at once, so a single image holds multiple angles and expressions rather than one fixed pose.

Can I commission a custom cubist portrait?

Yes. Custom cubist portraits from your own photograph are available on request. Reach out through the contact page with your idea and reference image to start an inquiry.

How is a cubist portrait different from a normal portrait?

A traditional portrait renders one viewpoint realistically. A cubist portrait fragments the subject and reassembles it, keeping several perspectives and moods visible together, which gives the work its energy and depth.

What sizes and materials are available?

Each cubist portrait can be produced on gallery canvas, brushed aluminum, or acrylic glass, in a range of sizes, or bought as an instant high-resolution digital download.

Are these originals or reproductions?

Every portrait is an original contemporary work by Daniel Michael Newland, produced as a made-to-order museum-quality print with a signed certificate of authenticity.
