    Cubism began in the early 20th century as an artistic movement launched by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque that rejected traditional perspective and sought to depict the subject from multiple viewpoints simultaneously in a shallow space. Key aspects abandoned included realistic colors, lighting, and textures. Cubist works fragmented objects into geometric forms and introduced elements like collage. While few artists remained devoted to its strictest rules, Cubism had a profound and lasting impact on the development of 20th century art by establishing a new visual language and challenging conventions of visual realism.

    Cubism The Breaking into the Modern

    Artists: Leger) Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque (later Delaunay and

    Cubism began as an intellectual revolt against the artistic expression of previous eras. Among the specific elements abandoned by the cubists were the sensual appeal of paint texture and color, subject matter with emotional charge or mood, the play of light on form, movement, atmosphere, and the illusionism that proceeded from scientifically based perspective. To replace these they employed an analytic system in which the three-dimensional subject (usually still life) was fragmented and redefined within a shallow plane or within several interlocking and often transparent planes. Cubism was the first abstract style of modern art. o A Cubist painting ignores the traditions of perspective drawing and shows you many views of a subject at one time. o The Cubists introduced collage into painting.

    While few painters remained faithful to cubism's rigorous tenets, many profited from its discipline. Although the cubist groups were largely dispersed after World War I, their collective break from visual realism had an enriching and decisive influence on the development of 20th-century art. It provided a new stylistic vocabulary and a technical idiom that remain forceful today. Analytic (painterly) 1907 to 1912

    paintings were composed of fewer and simpler forms based to a lesser extent on natural objects.
