Cubism

Representing multiple perspectives at once

Cubism is 20th century form of art used by great artists such as Picasso and Barque. It was a hard time for artist, because the camera was the new big thing, which could capture pictures instantly unlike artist who would take hours to draw them. These artists needed to do something different, unique that a camera couldn't do. So they came up with Cubism art.

Synthetic Cubism is a 20th century artistic style developed by the avant garde movement (artists who went against the traditional artistic styles). This cubism was developed by Pablo Picasso, Braque, and Gris. Basically, it is very similar to a college. Synthetic Cubism combines different textures, surfaces, and subject matters into one painting. It has a less planar shifts and is mostly very 2-D. A great example is Pablo Picasso's painting: The Three Musicians. As a result, many artists explored line, shape, form, and color.

Cubism was a style that many artist used it such as like Pablo Picasso. Colors were an essential element in Cubism because Cubist Artist used primary colors to depict the real world, and also they made their colors mixed to show the anonymity of the modern society.

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).

Cubism art was based on Paul Cezanne's style. The most famous Cubist artists were Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. This group was later joined by Juan Gris, Fernand Leger, and Jean Metzinger.

Cubism was created by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. They were soon followed by many, e.g. the Spaniard Juan Gris and the French Robert Delaunay, Fernand Léger, Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes, Francis Picabia and a great many more who more or less clearly took inspiration frm cubism.

Matisse was never involved in Cubism.

During the first period 1908-11 they used oil paint. The second phase of cubism included collage and drawing in pencil, coal or ink.

Cubism was invented around 1907 by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. It was a style of modern art. It also challenges traditional art e.g. Perspective. It revolutionised other artist's perceptions on every day objects. Cubism had two phases. The terms 'analytic' and 'synthetic' are used to separate post 1912 and pre 1912 cubism. Pre 1912 was analytic it was oriented on the observation of a subject. Post 1912 was synthetic it was based on artist techniques like collage. The first Cubist exhibition was in 1911 and took place at the salon des independents.

Pablo Picasso was inspired by Paul Cezanne's The Great Bathers (1898-1906) of the Post-Impressionist era, which featured geometric structuring and glimpses of bare canvas to remind the audience that they are only looking at a canvas with paint, not a window into a realistic view, or picture plane. Picasso's use of geometry and emphasis on reminding viewers of the 2-D surface in his Analytic Cubist works, such as the one depicted in Portrait of Ambroise Vollard (1910), were based off of Cezanne's art.

In the first phase, oil painting. In the second phase (after 1912) they introduced collage.

some of the main features of cubism are the breaking down of an object into it's fundamental geometric shapes; the parts are then replaced in a single plane of (usually) a painting, so that there is a single surface and multiple geometric figures.

This technique attempts to force the viewer to perceive the fundamental shape of the object, rather than just looking at the object and assigning it an identity based on memory of similar figures.

If you think about it carefully, it is also a representation of fractals.

Looking at other Picasso paintings it is obvious that Picasso in the 1930's often rejects this illusion, it is not peculiar to Guernica.

Fauvism is a name for the art of Henri Matisse and his colleagues (e.g. André Derain, Maurice Vlaminck and others) exhibited in the Autumn Salon in Paris 1905. They were called 'Les Fauves' (Wild animals) by a critic. They used very strong colors which did not represent the natural colors of the object, but were intended to evoke strong emotions.

Cubism was a way for Picasso and Georges Braque to present objects as seen simultaneously from different viewpoints, thus bridging the gap between sculpture and painting. In this connection color was of no interest.

Fauvism lasted about two years, analytic cubism not much longer. Picasso-Braque went on to synthetic cubism, which is collage.

Some people like art historian Douglas Cooper argued that there were three phases of cubism in his book The Cubist Epoch. The first of the three phases he described was "Early Cubism" which was around from 1906 to 1908. He explained how this was when the movement was first developed.

If you look on Picasso's work and cubism pieces, you could look at the style of his work.

These are the following items you could use for your cubism piece:

Cups and Mugs

Instruments (i.e. Violins or guitars)

Flowers

Fruits

thats all i could think of so I hope it helps.

Cubism is a strong factor in the development towards abstraction.

The two main forms of cubism are Analytical and Synthetic Cubism Thats right ^

Hinduism never was a religion and never will be. Hinduism is a way of life.

Getting up, cleansing, dressing, feeding and then work.

This is what a man does regardless of ethnic background of reach, colour or religion.

That is Hinduism.

The religion actually is known as Sanatan meaning one with No Beginning and No Ending. Thus one cannot place a date.

Representational art depicts something a person, a landscape, a vase of flowers or whatever. Even if the vase, the person, etc are distorted, they are still depicted.
Surrealist paintings depict common things or strange things or fantastic things, but still they depict something you can see.


In the first period of Cubism Braque and Picasso distorted things and person to the verge of chaos, there we have the borderline between representational and non-figurative (or abstract) art. Most cubist paintings have a recognizable subject, and so are representational.


The answer to your question, then, is Yes.


Click link below for an article on the subject, scroll down to see two examples of representational art and one example of abstract.

The objective is to to make a portrait that is not in anyway realistic or life like but make it one whole painting after looking from every possible angle and then piecing fragments of that together.

There is not an acknowledged first picture of Cubism. Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso developed the style. There is a cubist painting that caused quite an uproar when first displayed at the Armory Show, 1913, in America. It is "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" painted in 1907 by Picasso.
