Question: What is cubism!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!?
Who, what, where and when was cubism!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque made cubism up in Paris because they thought they could do one better than Paul Cezane!. Cezanne made things wonky because things move in relation to the person whose looking at them, but Picasso and Braque, in 1908, started making stuff that was so wonky nobody knew what the hell it was, and caused a right old stir!.

In turn Cezanne was just tring to do one better than the impressionists who wanted to be a bit splodgy because of the way light changes over time on the lake when you've been at the absinthe all day!.

People carried on being wonky, but then the war came and Dada happened and wonky seemed a bit old fashioned all of a sudden compared to being totally bonkers!.


WAIT THERE'S MORE!!!

That other poster gave you some incorrect information:

1!. The term was not invented by Matisse but by Louis Vauxcelles in 1908!.

2!. Picasso's paintings of ladies were from his later mega-celebrity phase of his career that went on forever!.

3!. No cubist paintings were colourful, they were all a dreadful grey-brown because this was very revolutionary at the time!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

In the early 20th century, Picasso and Brauqe were working in Paris and developed the art form!. It is the basic two plane depiction of objects and Picasso did a lot of faces in this form!. This was a radical departure from the work many artist were engaged in during that time!. Mattiss was the one who coined the name cubism based on the first work of Brauqe!. Picasso is most famous for this work; a lot of females were painted in this fashion!. He also used amazing colors the combination made for some interesting works of art!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Cubism is somewhat defined as splintered shapes, flattened spaces and geometric blocks of colors!.This was the most talked about "ism" of 21st century art!. It was the joint invention of Pablo Picasso(1882-1973) and Georges Braque (1882-1963)!. It was built upon the foundation of Picasso's early works!. Hope that helps a bit :)Www@QuestionHome@Com
