Cubism 1907-1915

Cubism:
Cubism was invented by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque in Paris around 1907. It was the first abstract style of modern art. Cubist paintings ignore the traditions of perspective drawing and show you many views of a subject at one time. The Cubists believed that the traditions of Western art had become exhausted and to revitalize their work, they drew on the expressive energy of art from other cultures, particularly African art. There are two distinct phases of the Cubist style: Analytical Cubism and Synthetic Cubism . Cubism has influenced many other styles of modern art including Expressionism, Futurism and Orphism.
