Cubism.

Cubism.

"The Cubist painters rejected the inherited concept that art should copy nature, or that they should adopt the traditional techniques of perspective, modeling, and foreshortening."

Cubism came around in the early twentieth century. Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque in 1907 and 1914 was the first people to make a painting with cubism. The movement started in 1902 to about the 1920s. After a while of seeing these kinds of painting people started to look for different ways to express their art.

Analytical Cubism - someone would study the painting and break it into two different types of blocks and look at the painting from different angles. And then tell what they see if it looks 3D or if they see something different

 Synthetic Cubism - This type of cubism is adding different types of materials into the art work. Artis would use colour paper, news paper and other materials to represent the different blocks. This made it have brighter colours and lighter mood to the art work. 


Three Musicians (Pablo Picasso)

This painting is by Pablo Picasso. He works with Synthetic Cubism in this painting. When you look at the painting you should see the blue almost right away. I think this was coloured paper and makes it easier to look at instead of having all those different colour. The light browns in the background gives the painting more depth I feel.
