CUBISM
ART
GROUP 6 PRESENTATION
WHAT IS CUBISM?
Cubism is a revolutionary art form that represents reality in warped, often in varying shapes
and sizes, geometric boxes, in other words cubes. The name ‘Cubism’ is derived from a
commentary made by Louis Vauxcelles, a known art critic, when viewing art works made by
George Braque’s exhibit in Paris, 1908. Louis Vauxcelles described the paintings as “Reducing
everything to geometric outlines, to cubes” hence the name “Cubism”. Calling this art form
influential is indeed underselling it.

Cubism opened up almost infinite new possibilities for the treatment of visual reality in art and
was the starting point for many later abstract styles including constructivism and
neo-plasticism.

By breaking objects and figures down into distinct areas – or planes – the artists aimed to
show different viewpoints at the same time and within the same space and so suggest their
three dimensional form. In doing so they also emphasized the two-dimensional flatness of the
canvas instead of creating the illusion of depth. This marked a revolutionary break with the
European tradition of creating the illusion of real space from a fixed viewpoint using devices
such as linear perspective, which had dominated representation from the Renaissance
onwards.
