Description
Cubism is an art movement that emerged in the early 20th century, primarily associated with artists Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. It is characterized by its use of geometric shapes and multiple viewpoints to depict a subject in a fragmented and abstract way.
The main concept behind Cubism is the idea of breaking down a subject into its geometric components, and then reconstructing it in a new and abstract form. This often involves showing different viewpoints of the same subject at once, using techniques such as collage and multiple perspectives. By breaking down the traditional rules of perspective and representation, Cubist artists sought to create a new way of seeing and understanding the world around them.
Cubism was also influenced by the rise of technology and the changing nature of modern life, and sought to reflect these changes through its abstract and fragmented style. It was one of the first truly avant-garde art movements, and had a significant impact on the development of modern art in the 20th century.
Cubism can be divided into two main phases: Analytic Cubism, which focused on the analysis of form and the use of monochromatic colors, and Synthetic Cubism, which involved the use of multiple materials and textures to create a more colorful and playful style. Both phases of Cubism were influential in their own right, and helped to shape the development of modern art in the 20th century.
