 Cubism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cubism is usually regarded as the most important and influential art movement since the Italian Renaissance; it was an avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture in the early 20th century.
Cubism influenced artists of the first decades of the 20th century and it gave rise to development of new trends in art like futurism, constructivism, vorticism and expressionism.
The cubism movement expanded by the gathering of artists in Montparnasse, and was promoted by art dealer Henry Kahnweiler.

Cubism -- highly influential visual arts style of the 20th century that was created principally by the painters Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque in Paris between 1907 and 1914.
Cubism derived its name from remarks that were made by the painter Henri Matisse and the critic Louis Vauxcelles, who derisively described Braque's 1908 work "Houses at L'Estaque" as composed of cubes.
In Braque's work, the volumes of the houses, the cylindrical forms of the trees, and the tan-and-green colour scheme are reminiscent of Paul Cézanne's landscapes, which deeply inspired the Cubists in their first stage of development, until 1909.

 Global Gallery - Knowledge Center - Cubism
Cubism was a revolutionary movement that is commonly seen as as a monumental shift in western art.
These specific influences led to the works produced by Cubist artists, primarily Picasso and Braque, to share so many qualities that it is difficult at times to distinguish one painter's work from another.
Where traditional western art had imitated nature and objects realistically for centuries, the Cubists basically threw out all of the traditional elements of perspective and depth and reverted to two dimensional renderings that could be regarded as regression, but in terms of Modern art was seen as tremendous progress.

 Pioneering Cubism
The genesis of Cubism during the years 1907 to 1914 has become the stuff of legend according to which in the autumn of 1907, Apollinaire brought Braque to Picasso's studio in Montmartre where he was confronted by the newly-completed canvas, Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907).
What distinguishes Cubism from all art that had preceeded it, as Ortega y Gasset ingeniously discerned, was its focus on the world as idea.[Footnote 2: The inner working of the mind was also the subject of Symbolism, the fin de siècle movement that flourished in France, Austria, and Belgium.
But, even as Cubism freed the artist from the constraints of tradition, it sequestered him in a garret of his own making.

The remarkable symbiosis between the two artists is the subject of the exhibition “Picasso and Braque: Pioneering Cubism,” organized by William Rubin, director emeritus of the department of painting and sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art this fall.

 What is Cubism.
Originally Cubism arose from the problems in the two dimensional world of painting,and it also influenced sculpture by Archipenko,Lipchitz,Laurens,Zadkine and others.But in sculpture,essentially a concrete three dimensional form,Cubism did not present as innovative a sense as it did in painting,yet nevertheless it had great significance as being the predecessor of antiÅ]naturalistic sculpture.
