CUBISM
• The cubist style derived its
name from the cube, a three-
dimensional geometric figure
composed of strictly measured
lines, planes, and angles.
• Cubist artworks were,
therefore, a play of
planes and angles on a
flat surface.
• Foremost among the cubists
was Spanish painter/sculptor
Pablo Picasso.
Pablo Picasso
• In earlier styles, subjects
were depicted in a three-
dimensional manner,
formed by light and
shadow.
• In contrast, the cubists
analyzed their subjects’
basic geometrical forms,
and broke them up into a
series of planes.
• Then they re-assembled
these planes, tilting and
interlocking them in
different way.

In addition, the art of the past
centuries had depicted a scene
from a single, stationary point
of view.
In contrast, cubism took the
contemporary view that things
are actually seen hastily in
fragments and from different
points of view at the same
time.
This was reflected in the
depiction of objects from more
than one visual angle in the
same painting
Human figures as well were
often represented with facial
features and body parts shown
both frontally and from a side
angle at once.
• This gave a sense of imbalance
and misplacement that created
immediate visual impact. It also
gave cubism its characteristic
feeling of dynamism and energy.
• To this day, variations of
cubism continue to appear in
many contemporary artworks.

oslo paper, scissors, and glue or paste.
 Create a “CUBIST”
Artwork
4. Select a large photograph from the magazine and/or
other photos, and cut these into segments of different
shapes and sizes.
5. Glue or paste all the segments on the oslo paper,
slightly misaligned and with small gaps if you wish, but
with the image still recognizable
