Description from the author:
Cubism is an art style that emerged in the early 20th century and has had a significant impact on the development of contemporary art. It was one of the first experimental and innovative trends in art, representing a significant departure from traditional representation and perspective.
The main characteristic of Cubism is the decomposition of form into geometric shapes such as cubes, cones, and prisms. Artists of the cubist style sought to present objects and subjects simultaneously from different points of view, reproducing them in a break from linear perspective and a single focus.
One of the founders of cubism was Pablo Picasso, as well as Georges Braque. They made a significant contribution to the development of this style and the introduction of new techniques such as analytical and synthetic cubism. In analytical cubism, forms are presented as broken and separated fragments, which creates a complex and multifaceted image. In Synthetic Cubism, artists combined different materials, textures, and collage elements to create compositions.
Cubism was a shift from a simple depiction of reality to an exploration of forms and space, emphasizing their geometric structure and volume. It reflected a change in outlook on the world and a desire for more abstract and experimental art. Cubism influenced many subsequent styles and trends, such as abstract expressionism and constructivism, and also had a significant impact on the development of modern painting, sculpture and design.
