What is Cubism

Cubism is a painting of a normal scene, but painted so that it is viewed from multiple views while the positions of some of the parts are rotated or moved (so that it is odd looking and scrambled).

What shapes do you see?

Cubism can show more than one point of view at the same time

See the front of the face and the side of the face in each picture?

More examples…

Femme à la resille (Woman in a hairnet)

1938, by Pablo Picasso.

Picasso's work is often categorized into "periods".

The Blue Period (1901-1904). His paintings were mostly monochromatic (one color).

The Old Guitarist (1902) Self Portrait with cloak (1901)

1905-1907

The Rose Period

Garçon à la pipe

Picasso used orange and pink in contrast to the cool tones of the Blue Period. Some believe that Picasso was in love during this time and therefore may have inspired a change in his painting style.

1907-1909

African Period

During this period Picasso was strongly influenced by African sculpture.

He used a lot of browns and reds during this period.

1909-1912

Cubism Period

During this period Picasso focused on geometric shapes and less on color.

See all the little cubes?

1912-1919

Synthetic Cubism (Collage style)

Picasso used a variety of materials during this period in his paintings. Such as…

Collage

…newspaper, paper, and oilcloth.

This was a more colorful style of art.
