CUBISM

 

 

 

Cubism was one of the most influential visual art styles of the early twentieth century. It was created by Pablo Picasso Spanish, 1881–1973 and Georges Braque French, 1882–1963 in Paris between 1907 and 1914. The French art critic Louis Vauxcelles coined the term Cubism after seeing the landscapes Braque had painted in 1908 at L'Estaque in emulation of Cézanne. Vauxcelles called the geometric forms in the highly abstracted works cubes.Other influences on early Cubism have been linked to Primitivism and non-Western sources.
