The Salon Cubists were a group of artists who exhibited their works at the Salon d’Automne and the Salon des Independants, both major non-academic Salons in Paris. #7 The Salon Cubists played a key role in popularizing Cubism Houses at Estaque (1908) – Georges Braque His comment gave a name to the Cubism art movement. Houses at l’Estaque prompted art critic Louis Vauxcelles to mock it as being composed of cubes. Although described as a proto-Cubist work, these elements in the painting formed the basis of the Cubist style. In Houses at l’Estaque, Braque broke the traditional rules of perspective and simplified the houses and trees in the painting to their barest geometric forms. The work was one of several paintings created by Braque of the village of L’Estaque in France. In 1908, Georges Braque created a painting titled Houses at l’Estaque. #6 The movement gets its name from a mocking comment by an art critic Les Demoiselles d’Avignon (1907) – Pablo Picasso Although it was a major first step towards Cubism, Les Demoiselles d’Avignon is not yet Cubist and it is classified as proto-Cubist or pre-Cubist. Picasso used different styles to depict each figure in the painting with the head of the women pulling the curtain in upper right being the most strictly Cubist element.
Considered by many as the most important work of Picasso, it is regarded as a major step towards the founding of the Cubist movement. Les Demoiselles d’Avignon (The Young Ladies of Avignon) is a 1907 painting by Pablo Picasso.
#5 Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d’Avignon was a major first step towards Cubism Pablo Picasso (left) and Georges Braque (right) During the early phase of the movement, the works of Picasso and Braque became so similar that their paintings are almost indistinguishable. Both lived in the bohemian Montmartre section of Paris in the years before and during World War I, making their collaboration easy. The two artists collaborated closely from the beginning of 1909 regularly meeting to discuss their progress. The Cubism movement was principally invented by Spanish artist Pablo Picasso and French artist Georges Braque between 19. #4 It was pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque Chateau Noir (1904) – Paul Cezanne, one of his paintings that inspired Cubism The Cubists carefully studied the art of Paul Cezanne and expanded his techniques. Cezanne also explored simplification of natural forms into cylinders, spheres and cones. By doing so he stressed the difference between painting and reality. In his late works, the French artist Paul Cezanne (1839 – 1906) abandoned the tradition of linear perspective and flattened the space in his paintings to place more emphasis on their surface. #3 Cubism was inspired by the late works of Paul Cezanne Paul Cezanne – Whose work inspired Cubism He thus showcases different views of subjects together in the same picture resulting in the paintings appearing to be abstracted. Instead of depicting objects from a single viewpoint, a Cubist artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context. In a cubist artwork, the objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form. #2 A Cubist artwork depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints They emphasized the two-dimensional flatness of the canvas instead of creating the illusion of depth. In Cubism, the artists abandoned linear perspective. It solved the problem of representing three dimensional objects on a two dimensional canvas by creating an illusion of depth thus allowing artists to create paintings that closely resembled reality. Linear p erspective was a method in use since the Renaissance in the 15 th century. #1 Cubist artists abandoned linear perspective
