George Grosz,
To Oskar Panizza, 1917

- The work combines elements of Futurism

and Cubism to show a funeral procession in a
modern urban city, as an infernal abyss
populated by twisted and grotesque
[2]
attendants. The painting is dedicated to the
German psychiatrist and avant-garde writer
Oskar Panizza,
Cubism
- Abandon perspective
- Cubists explored open form, piercing figures and objects by letting the space flow
through them, blending background into foreground, and showing objects from
various angles. Some historians have argued that these innovations represent a
response to the changing experience of space, movement, and time in the modern
world. This first phase of the movement was called Analytic Cubism.

Paul Cézanne, La montagne St.Victoire, 1904-06

- By french painter paul cezanne
- Depics st. victoire which is a limestone
massif
- The desire to make his art as natural and
concrete as possible leads the painter to affirm:
"Color is biological, it is alive, it is the only one that
makes things alive", and again "To paint a
landscape well, I must first discover its geological
characteristics

Pablo Picasso
Les demoiselles d’Avignon, 1907

- Les Demoiselles d'Avignon is one of

the most famous paintings by Pablo Picasso
and is considered the manifesto of Cubism .
- Les Demoiselles d'Avignon in a
period of rapid experimentation between
Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque
- Translated to - the brothel
- portrays five nude female prostitutes in
a brothel in a street in barcelona
- Each figure is depicted in a
confrontational manner, not exactly feminine
The figure on the left exhibits facial features
and dress of Egyptian or southern Asian style.
The two adjacent figures are shown in the
Iberian style of Picasso's native Spain, while
the two on the right are shown with African
mask-like features. The ethnic primitivism
evoked in these masks, according to Picasso, moved him to "liberate an utterly original artistic
style of compelling, even savage force.

Pablo Picasso, Las Meninas, 1957

- Made by performing a comprehensive
analysis, reinterpreting and recreating several
times Las Meninas by Diego Velázquez.
- Later bought by guggenheim
If someone want to copy Las Meninas, entirely
in good faith, for example, upon reaching a
certain point and if that one was me, I would
say..what if you put them a little more to the
right or left? I'll try to do it my way, forgetting
about Velázquez. The test would surely bring me to modify or change the light because of having
changed the position of a character. So, little by little, that would be a detestable Meninas for a
traditional painter, but would be my Meninas.

Diego Velazquez, Las Meninas, 1656

- Real illusion
- Observer as protagonist or the couple
posing for painting as reflected in the mirror and its
an illusion that they are the protagonist.
- Dynamic atmosphere and characters and
interaction between them and their spaces creating
a realistic output
George Braque, The Portuguese, 1912
- one of the earliest cubist
paintings
- Still life with low key colour
harmony, robust construction, serene
meditative quality
- The painting features stencilled
letters BAL and numerals under them.
- While working on this painting,
Georges Braque combined the two
techniques to come up with the
Portuguese. The stencilled numbers and
letters in the art are the assertions of
realistic intentions of the Cubism
technique.
- Although Georges had included
various numbers as well as letters into
the painting, they were the
representational elements of the art.
