  3. Cubism • Although many artists made pieces that had aspects of what came to be called cubism before 1907, we usually date the birth of Cubism to Picasso’s painting “Les Demoiselles d’Avignon”. • Picasso and Braque worked together to develop cubism, and influenced many artists, designers, architects – essentially helping to define the modern style.

  7. What defines cubism? • Abstraction = simplification of shapes and lines • Flattening of the image = strong outlines mean that the three-dimensional aspect of the subject is not as important • Multiple perspectives = often we can see the subject from different angles • Fragmentation = cutting up the subject, sometimes rearranging the pieces

  20. Guernica - 1937 Picasso’s most famous painting – by this point, his cubism has developed to be more expressive; he uses the fragmentation and multiple angles to express the horror and suffering of war -- painted after the bombing of the Spanish city, Guernica, during the Spanish Civil War

  21. Guernica, 1937 “Picasso's painting is without question the most important anti-war work of art produced in the Twentieth Century.” (http://www.oneonta.edu/faculty/farberas/arth/arth200/guernica.html)

  22. What do you think an artist is? An imbecile who has only eyes if he is a painter, or ears if he is a musician, or a lyre in every chamber of his heart if he is a poet, or even, if he is a boxer, just his muscles? Far, far from it: at the same time, he is also a political being, constantly aware of the heartbreaking, passionate, or delightful things that happen in the world, shaping himself completely in their image. How could it be possible to feel no interest in other people, and with a cool indifference to detach yourself from the very life which they bring to you so abundantly? No, painting is not done to decorate apartments. It is an instrument of war-- Pablo Picasso
