Cubism (1909–1912):
- Analytical Cubism (1909-1912)
A: Paintings executed during this period showed the breaking down, or analysis, of form. Right-angle and straight-line construction were favoured, though occasionally some areas of the painting appeared sculptural
A: Colour schemes were simplified, tending to be nearly monochromatic (hues of tan, brown, gray, cream, green, or blue preferred) in order not to distract the viewer from the artist's primary interest--the structure of form itself.
A: The monochromatic colour scheme was suited to the presentation of complex, multiple views of the object, which was now reduced to overlapping opaque and transparent planes. These planes appear to ascend the surface of the canvas rather than to recede in depth.
A: Forms are generally compact and dense in the centre of the Analytical Cubist painting, growing larger as they diffuse toward the edges of the canvas
This art style was highly influential visual arts style of the 20th century that was created principally by the painters Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque in Paris between 1907 and 1914.
1908:
Cubism marks the end of the Renaissance-dominated era, and the beginning of modern art
The papier collé technique was modern in its medium and the way it embedded the art's message in everyday materials. It was seen as an attack on 20th-century society, and many artists and writers of the period allied themselves with anarchist groups. Critics equated Cubism with anarchism, revolution, and disdain for tradition, but Picasso himself never viewed Cubism as a protest movement.
Henri Matisse coined the term "Cubism" in 1911, referring to Braque's technique of reducing everything to geometric outlines, Cubic Excentricities.
Characteristics:
- The illusion of background depth was created by using linear perspective and rounded shaded surfaces, and painting at a particular moment in time.
- Cubist artists sought to capture the full significance of an object by showing it from multiple points of view and at different times, creating a complex jigsaw puzzle of different views.
- Artists rejected traditional techniques of perspective, foreshortening, modelling, and chiaroscuro to emphasize the flat, two-dimensional surface of the picture plane.
- Cubist painters created a new reality by painting radically fragmented objects with multiple sides.
- Cubism created a sense of solidity and pictorial structure without traditional perspective or modelling, making a painting more of a physical object than a window on the world.
- Instead of creating natural-looking 3-D objects, Cubist painters offered a brand new set of images reassembled from 2-D fragments. They sought to express the intellectual idea or form of an object, and its relationship to others.
Paul Cezanne's geometric motifs revolutionized fine art painting and sculpture, creating new ways of representing reality.
Apolllinaire argues that Cubism is an art of conception, which was synthesised by Braque and Picasso from Post-impressionism.
Cubism was an iconoclastic, challenging, intellectual movement that focused on ideas rather than pretty pictures. It was inspired by French musicians Claude Debussy, Erik Satie, and Maurice Ravel, and corresponded with Henri Bergson's ideas. It reflected the calls for change in other disciplines and the world at large.
