Notas del editor
Start of Cubism
As know as the ‘last painting of the 19th century’
It is certainly a ‘mood’ picture, with definite affiliations to the last stages of symbolist art
Why it is important
Start of Cubism
Abstract Art
Art revolution ???
Subject : taken from everyday life in modern city, most of them were the man-made, cheap mass-production. Also guitar and violins because Braque liked music. To represent the value of the manufactured.
Freedom : freedom for the artists to create a new technique from their experiment with various material. For example, using comb to make illusion.

What Are the Key Characteristics of Cubism?
Geometricity, a simplification of figures and objects into geometrical components and planes that may or may not add up to the whole figure or object known in the natural world.
Approximation of the Fourth Dimension.
Conceptual, instead of perceptual, reality.
Distortion and deformation of known figures and forms in the natural world.
Passage, the overlapping and interpenetration of planes.
Simultaneity or multiple views, different points of view made visible on one plane.
Paul Cezanne – Geometric -Post-impressionism‘Do I know Cezanne ? He’s my one and only master.’ - Picasso
Henri Matisse -Fauvism
Georges Braque -Cubism
Guillaume Apollinaire – writer Le Bateau-Lavoir
