Title: Cubism


1
Cubism
  • bizarre cubiques
  • full of little cubes

2
Cubist Art
  • objects that are broken into geometrical shapes
    and put back together in a more abstract way
  • the geometrical components become more important
    than the subject itself
  • monochromatic, more emphasis placed on the shapes
  • Image represented from multiple viewpoints
  • Surfaces intersect at seemingly random angles
  • Shallow, ambiguous space

3
  • 20th century avant-garde art movement
  • Pioneered by Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque
    (Montmartre, Paris)
  • Paul Gauguin and Paul Cezanne were both
    influential to the formation of Cubism and to the
    paintings of Picasso in 1906-1907.
  • Cezanne tended to break the surface into small
    areas of paint and simplified natural forms into
    cones, cylinders, and spheres.

4
Avant-garde
  • Pushing the boundaries of what is accepted as the
    norm (primarily in culture)
  • Innovative and ahead of the majority
  • Promotion of radical social reforms
  • Work opposed to mainstream commercial values and
    often has an abrasive social or political edge.

5
Analytic Cubism
  • 1907 1911, France
  • Analysis of the subject pulling it apart into
    planes
  • Reduced natural forms to their geometric parts
  • Subdued colours (almost monochromatic)

6
Synthetic Cubism
  • Movement spread until 1919 when the Surrealist
    movement gained popularity
  • Different textures, surfaces, collage elements,
    large variety of merged subject matte
  • Pushing of several objects together less
    shading flatter space
  • Picasso Still Life with Chair-caning
