What is
Cubism?
Cubism is a movement in art that is characterized
by the use of geometric planes and shapes

Characterized by the reduction and

fragmentation of natural forms into abstract,
often geometric structures usually rendered as a
set of discrete planes.

Cubism was the first abstract style of modern art.

 This art movement started
around 1907 in Paris, France.
They decided to create cubism
as a new way of seeing which
reflected the modern age.
Cubism was an attempt by
artists to revitalize the tired
traditions of Western art which
they believed had run their
course. It totally deflects the
conventional forms of
representation, such as
perspective, which had been
the rule since the Italian
Renaissance.
Cubism was pioneered or created by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. Picasso was said to
be in his African Period while Braque was known as a contributor to fauvism. Paul Cézanne
was said to be a great influence in the making of Cubism.

Other known artists are Juan Gris, Albert Gleizes and Jean Metzinger.
cubism characteristics

It emphasized the flat, two-dimensional

surface of the picture plane, rejecting the
traditional techniques of perspective,
foreshortening, modeling, and chiaroscuro.

Cubist painters were not bound to

copying form, texture, color, and space.
Instead, they presented a new reality that
depicted radically fragmented objects.

It refutes time-honored theories

that art should imitate nature.
