Cubism
Cubism was developed between about 1908 and 1912
in a collaboration between Pablo Picasso and
Georges Braque. Their immediate influences are
said to be Tribal Art (although Braque later
disputed this) and the work of Paul Cezanne. The
movement itself was not long-lived or widespread,
but it began an immense creative explosion which
resonated through all of 20th century art. The
key concept of Cubism is that the essence of
objects can only be captured by showing it from
multiple points of view simultaneously. Cubism
had run its course by the end of World War I, but
among the movements directly influenced by it
were Orphism, Purism, Precisionism, Futurism,
Constructivism, and, to some degree,
Expressionism.
