SKETCHBOOK*
Cubism: an innovative art movement started by Pablo Picasso and Georges
Braque. Cubist artists would break up the subject into many different shapes and
then repaint it from different angles.
When was the Cubism movement? 1908 and lasted through the 1920s.
There were 2 main types of Cubism:
1) Analytical Cubism:
- The first stage of the Cubism movement was called Analytical Cubism. In this style,
artists would study (or analyze) the subject and break it up into different blocks.
They would look at the blocks from different angles. Then they would reconstruct
the subject, painting the blocks from various viewpoints.
2) Synthetic Cubism:
- The second stage of Cubism introduced the idea of adding in other materials in a
collage. Artists would use colored paper, newspapers, and other materials to
represent the different blocks of the subject. This stage also introduced brighter
colors and a lighter mood to the art.
