What did cubism inspire?

Answer 1

Cubism is where the artist shows several views but all at the same time. This causes distortion, but the underlying shapes of the cube, cylinder, sphere and cone can still be picked out.

The artist who really used the idea of under lying shape was French artist Paul Cezanne. He was a post Impressionist and unlike the Impreassionists who concentrated more on the effect of light upon their subject, Cezanne wanted solidity. He pioneered looking at the surface of shapes and their under lying shapes and concentrating on them so much that the actual shapes became slightly distorted. He did not concern himself as much about perspective, and this causes distortion. He was interested in the new Japanese prints which were arriving in Europe and were being collected by other artists. They often have a different way of showing and using perspective.

Picasso and Braque are known to have have admired Cezanne. They took on board his ideas. Added to that Picasso had an interest in African sculpture. There is a story which may or may not be true that he stole an African sculpture from a Paris museum. Eventually he took it back, but anonymously!

Answer 2

Although the cubist groups were largely spread around after World War I, their collective break from visual realism had an enriching and decisive influence on the development of 20th-century art. It provided a new stylistic vocabulary and a technical idiom that remain forceful today.
