1. Cubism BY: JASPER AND STEVEN 1907-1914

2. The Beginning of Cubism Cubism was created by Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881–1973) and Georges Braque (French, 1882–1963) in Paris between 1907 and 1914. The French art critic Louis Vauxcelles coined the term Cubism after seeing the landscapes Braque had painted in 1908 at L'Estaque in emulation of Cézanne.

3. What is Cubism? Cubism is a nonobjective school of painting and sculpture developed in Paris in the early 20th century, characterized by the reduction and breakup of natural forms into abstract, often geometric structures usually rendered as a set of discrete planes. Cubism was an art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music and literature. Analytic cubism and Synthetic cubism are Analytical and Synthetic.

4. Analytical Cubism (1909-1912) This phase focused on deconstructing objects into fragmented forms and using muted colors (like browns, greys, and ochres). The goal was to analyze the subject from different angles and present it in a way that challenged traditional perspective.

6. Synthetic Cubism (1912-1919) In this phase, the style became more colorful and introduced collage techniques. Artists started incorporating real-world materials, like newspaper clippings and fabric, into their works. The forms were simpler and more recognizable, but the focus remained on abstraction.

8. Pablo Picasso 1881-1973 Pablo Picasso was born on October 25, 1881 in Malaga, Spain, as the son of an art and drawing teacher. He was a brilliant student. He passed the entrance examination for the Barcelona School of Fine Arts at the age of 14 in just one day and was allowed to skip the first two classes.

10. Georges Braque 1882-1963 Developed his painting skills while working for his father, a house decorator. He moved to Paris in 1900 to study where he was drawn to the work of the Fauve artists, including Matisse, Derain and Dufy, as well as the late landscapes of Cézanne. Meeting Picasso marked a huge turning point in Braque's development and together they evolved as leaders of Cubism.

12. The End Of Cubism Cubism "ended" as a dominant, distinct movement when its pioneers began exploring new artistic territories in the 1920s, and as new movements like Surrealism and Dada took the spotlight. However, its influence continued to be felt throughout the 20th century, shaping much of the direction of modern art, even though it was no longer the leading style.
