Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque began the Cubist movement in the early 1900s. Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907) was the first step into Cubist theory. The duo was inspired by Paul Cezanne's The Great Bathers (1898-1906), which had geometric structure and bare pieces of canvas, when they ventured off into Analytic Cubism. This type of Cubism sought to capture the 4th dimension, or the portrayal of figures on all sides (see Braque's The Portuguese). Picasso and Braque then moved on to Synthetic Cubism, which analyzed the contrasts between 2-D and 3-D by integrating real objects onto flat surfaces (see Picasso's Still Life With Chair Caning).
