Cubism

Art Movement

1907 to 1930 Global

Cubism, developed by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque around 1907, is an influential art movement that revolutionized the way artists represented reality. Instead of depicting subjects from a single viewpoint, Cubism breaks objects into geometric shapes and presents multiple perspectives simultaneously. This abstract approach challenges traditional notions of depth and perspective. Cubism can be divided into two phases: Analytical Cubism, which focuses on breaking down objects into fragmented, overlapping planes, and Synthetic Cubism, which incorporates simpler shapes and collage techniques. It marked a major shift towards abstraction in modern art and influenced many later movements, such as Futurism and Constructivism.
