Synthetic cubism (1912–1919) was a further development of the genre of cubism, in which cut paper fragments – often wallpaper or portions of newspaper pages – were pasted into compositions, marking the first use of collage in fine art.Īrlequin (Harlequin), Pablo Picasso, 1917,īetween 19, Picasso began a series of paintings depicting highly geometric and minimalist Cubist objects, consisting of either a pipe, a guitar or a glass, with an occasional element of collage. In Cubist artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form-instead of depicting objects from a single viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context A retrospective of Cézanne’s paintings had been held at the Salon d’Automne of 1904, current works were displayed at the 19 Salon d’Automne, followed by two commemorative retrospectives after his death in 1907.
One primary influence that led to Cubism was the representation of three-dimensional form in the late works of Paul Cézanne. The movement was pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, joined by Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes, Robert Delaunay, Henri Le Fauconnier, and Fernand Léger. Cubism has been considered the most influential art movement of the 20th century. Cubism is an early-20th-century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music, literature and architecture.
