1. Cubism (1907-1914)
Krista Arrasmith, Sean Larson, Leah Schrauben
2. This movement was created by Picasso
and Braque in Paris from 1907 to 1914
◦ Braque and Picasso were the major artists
throughout the majority of the Cubist
movement
◦ The term Cubism was first coined by Louis
Vauxcelles after seeing the landscapes Braque
painted at L’Estaque, in 1908, calling the
geometric figures in the paintings “cubes.”
3. Influences on Cubism
◦ Primitivism and Non-Western Sources
◦ Oceanic and Iberian Sculpture
◦ African Art in the case of Picasso’s Les
Demoiselles d’Avignon
◦ Colonialism/Imperialism
◦ World War I
◦ Post-Impressionism: Cézanne
◦ Science-Bohr, Einstein
5. Overall Characteristics
◦ Reject that art should copy nature
◦ Reject use of traditional techniques
◦ Emphasize two-dimensionality (geometricity)
◦ Reduce objects to geometric shapes and put
these within a shallow space
◦ Multiple/contrasting vantage points
◦ Overlapping planes (passage)
◦ Exploration of the fourth dimension
(simultaneity)
6. Cubism consisted of two stages
◦ Analytical- Very abstract; mostly made up of
overlapping planes and geometrical figures
◦ Synthetic- tended to use new mediums, such
as clips from newspaper, on top of paint
canvass; took away all three dimensional
aspects left from Analytical
