Cubism art seeks to re-create and deconstruct reality using geometric designs, influenced by African, Micronesian, and Native American art. It is characterized by two main styles: Analytical Cubism (1910-1912), which breaks down forms into simple colors and right angles, and Synthetic Cubism (post-1912), emphasizing the synthesis of forms and the use of mixed media. Cubism challenges traditional representation, inviting viewers to question reality through fragmented objects and varied textures. Key figures like Picasso and Braque revolutionized the art world, leading a movement that transformed perceptions of reality and illusion.

Transcription de la présentation

  1. Cubism

  2. Themes: Sought to deconstruct reality by using geometric designs as visual stimuli to re-create reality in the viewer’s mind Influences: • African art (esp. tribal masks) • Micronesian art • Native American art

  3. Styles Analytical Cubism • Period from 1910-1912 •  breaking down or analysis of form • Right angle and straight lines • Simplified color schemes • Complex, multiple views of object • Forms generally compact and dense in the center growing larger towards the edges Synthetic Cubism • After 1912 • Emphasis on combination or synthesis of forms in picture • Color extremely important in shapes • Smooth and rough surfaces contrast with each other • Frequently non-painted objects such as newspapers or tobacco wrappers are pasted on canvas and combined with painted areas • Emphasis on differences in textures • What is reality and what is illusion  

  4. Techniques • Emphasized the flat, 2D surface of the picture plane • rejected traditional techniques (perspective, foreshortening, modeling, and chiaroscuro • showed fragmented objects • cubist paintings showed letters, musical instruments, bottles, pitchers, glasses, newspapers, still lifes, and the human face/figure • analytical cubism (1910-1912)- paintings during this time portrayed breaking down/analysis of form, right angles and straight lines- colors were simple (tans, browns, blacks, grays, creams) to distract people from the primary interest the structure of form which are compact and dense • synthetic cubism (after 1912)- emphasizes the blend of forms. colors are very important because they are larger and more decorative- had both smooth and rough surfaces including non-painted objects were put on the canvas (newspapers and tobacco wrappers) - stressed differences in texture and questioned what reality really was Bread and Fruit Dish on a Table – Picasso
