Cubism• It was a 20th century art movement, • Started by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, • It revolutionized European painting and sculpture• The first branch of cubism, known as Analytic Cubism between 1907 and

1911 in France. • In its second phase, Synthetic Cubism, the movement spread and

remained vital until around 1919, when the Surrealist movement gained popularity.

• In cubist artworks, objects are broken up, and re-assembled in an abstracted form

• Instead of showing the objects from one viewpoint, they show subject from several different viewpoints. Often the surfaces intersect at seemingly random angles, removing a coherent sense of depth.

Pablo Picasso• 25 October 1881 – 8 April 1973• He was a Spanish painter and

sculptor • He lived most of his adult life in

France• He was best known for co-founding

cubism

Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, 1907 – Pablo Picasso

This image shows 5 women in the style of cubism. It looks

abstract because the image has been assembled to create an abstract affect, he's done this by showing different parts of

the image from different viewpoints so it brings life to the picture. Also Picasso has

made the background disjointed so it makes the women come out of the

background. My opinion is that I like the way that the colours of

the background are balanced out well and brings the image

to life better.

Georges Braque• 13 May 1882 – 31 August 1963• He was a French painter and sculptor• He was best known for co-founding

cubism with Picasso

Violin and Candlestick Paris, spring 1910 – Georges Braque

This picture shows cubism because you can see that the image has been broken

up, and reassembled so the parts overlap and join together at strange angles. Also the different parts of the image are from

different viewpoints so it brings the image to life, also the background is

disjointed which also brings the violins and candlesticks out of the image. My opinion of it is I like the way that the

objects in the image overlap and seem to come out of the picture.
