How was Cubism created?

Cubism started in Paris (France) in the early 20th Century, when Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque started to cooperate very closely by visiting their ateliers daily and exchanging all their ideas and new visual inventions in the years 1907 - 1914. Appolinaire became soon the art critic who connected himself to Cubism and published a lot in those years.Then Braque had to join the French army in World War 1 (Picasso was not French!) and was severely injured in 1915. He recovered but was also changed a lot in his personality; their close relationship in making Cubist art was ended by then.See the quotes by Picasso and Braque."Almost every evening ( around 1908, fh), either I went to Braque's studio or Braque came to mine. Each of us had to see what the other had done during the day. We criticized each other's work (a remark Picasso told Francoise Gilot already in December 1908)"from "Futurism", ed. By Didier Ottinger; Centre Pompidou / 5 Continents Editions, Milan, 2008, p. 311, note 721 (art quotes, Pablo Picasso)"At that time (around 1907/08) I was very friendly with Picasso. Our temperaments were very different, but we had the same idea. Later on it became clear, Picasso is Spanish and I am French; as everyone knows that mean a lot of differences, but during those days the differences did not count… …We were living in Montmarte, we used to meet every day, we used to talk… …In those years Picasso and I said things to each other that nobody will ever say again, that nobody could say any more… …It was rather like a pair of climbers roped together."from a conversation with Dora Vallier, 1954; as quoted in "Letters of the great artists - from Ghiberti to Gainsborough -", Richard Friedenthal, Thames and Hudson , London, 1963Picasso and Braques both were looking for a way to show different viewpoints on a two dimensional surface.


How was cubism expressed?

Georges Braque, similarly to Picasso, was very much affected by the shift in art and literature that modernism was bringing. In literature, there was a crisis of language. Why did three letters c-a-t actually come to mean the furry creature on our couch? Writers such as Faulkner and Wallace Stevens tried to redefine the way we use language. The cubists had the similar crisis. Why should a natural drawing of a fruit bowl be the only way we can show the fruit bowl? Braque and Picasso used cubism to show the multi-faceted nature of the objects they were representing. They made the viewer look at the subject differently than they would in a basic representation. Some of his work is less understandable than others, but a look at his body of work would provide some clues as to what some of the figures/objects in the art are. Interestingly enough, Braque's day job was painting veneer finished items (false marble top, false wood, etc). He counterfeited nature exactly during his actual job, but his paintings were a reinvention of representation. Just some food for thought.- I couldn't portray a women in all her natural loveliness… …I haven't the skill. No one has. I must, therefore, create a new sort of beauty, the beauty that appears to me in terms of volume of line, of mass, of weight, and through that beauty interpret my subjective impression. Nature is mere a pretext for decorative composition, plus sentiment. It suggests emotion, and I translate that emotion into art. I want to express the absolute, not merely the factitious woman. ( a statement given to the American Gelett Burgess, late in 1908, fh)* artist quotes from 'The wild men of Paris' in 'The Architectural Record', May 1910; as quoted in "Braque", Edwin Mullins, Thames and Hudson, London 1968, p. 34- What greatly attracted me - and it was the main line of advance of Cubism - was how to give material expression to this new space of which I had an inkling. So I began to paint chiefly still life's, because in nature there is a tactile, I would almost say a manual space. I wrote about this moreover 'When a still life is no longer within reach, it ceases to be a still life… '. …For me that expressed the desire I have always had to touch a thing, not just to look at it. It was that space that attracted me strongly, for that was the earliest Cubist painting - the quest for space.* artist quotes from a conversation with Dora Vallier, 1954; as quoted in "Letters of the great artists - from Ghiberti to Gainsborough -", Richard Friedenthal, Thames and Hudson , London, 1963

How much did Pablo Picasso make?

Pablo Picasso's Boy with a Pipe (the link is broadband with audio and video; here is a lower tech image) is on the auction block at Sotheby's, this Wednesday evening. Some analysts expect the painting to go for at least $100 million, an all-time record. The Whitney family bought that same picture in 1950 for $30,000. $104.1 million was the end price.


Where can you find Picasso's art work?

I believe he worked in Spain or the South of France! If you are into Picasso a great snipet movie is surviving Picasso can rent it in the video store. Anthony Hopkins does a great job of recreating a persona some maybe real or not. Marc Mintz
