Cubism arose in Paris between 1907 & 1914 principally out of the bold, imagination & creativity of Pablo Picasso & Georges Braque bored by traditional aesthetics & techniques.
The Cubist style rejected the traditional techniques of perspective, foreshortening, modeling, & chiaroscuro & refuted traditional theories that art should imitate nature.
Foreshortening: method of rendering a specific object or figure to make the viewer perceive depth. Example objects in the foreground often appear larger than they are compared to those at a distance to render depth.
“Chiaroscuro, (from Italian: chiaro, “light,” and scuro, “dark”) technique employed in the visual arts to represent light and shadow as they define three-dimensional objects.”
“Cubist painters were not bound to copying form, texture, color & space; instead, they presented a new reality in paintings that depicted radically fragmented objects.”
The name ‘Cubism’ is derived from the snide remarks of critic Louis Vauxcelles, who described Braque’s 1908 work Houses at L’Estaque as being composed of cubes.
In Braque’s painting, the volumes of the houses, the cylindrical forms of the trees, & the tan-and-green color scheme are reminiscent of Paul Cézanne’s landscapes.
It was, however, Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, painted by Picasso in 1907, that shows the transition to Cubism in this work, the forms of five female nudes become fractured, angular shapes.
Thirdly, is that any perspective fully disappears in analytical cubism. If the goal is to portray the concept of the subject itself, where exactly it is located, far or near, it is irrelevant.
Picasso and Braque favoured right-angle and straight-line construction, though occasionally some areas of their paintings appear sculptural, as in Picasso’s Girl with a Mandolin (1910).
In Analytic Cubism monochromatic colors were preferred so as not to distract the viewer from the artist’s primary interest—the structure of form itself.
“The monochromatic color scheme was suited to the presentation of complex, multiple views of the object, which was reduced to overlapping opaque & transparent planes.”
Forms are generally compact & dense in the center of an Analytical Cubist painting, growing larger as they diffuse toward the edges of the canvas, as in Picasso’s Portrait of Ambroise Vollard (1909–10).
Cubists started adding paper, cloth, newsprint, text & even sand & dirt to their works, attempting to bring a total sense of the reality of their subject’s essence into play.
The Woman with the fruit dish - Fernand Léger - Synthetic Cubism
This technique, known as collage, further emphasizes the differences in texture & at the same time, poses the question of what is reality & what is illusion.
Most notable are Fernand Léger, Robert and Sonia Delaunay, Juan Gris, Roger de la Fresnaye, Marcel Duchamp, Albert Gleizes, Jean Metzinger and Louis Marcoussis .

Cubism influenced Futurism in Italy, Vorticism in England, De Stijlism in the Netherlands, Suprematism and Constructivism in Russia, and Expressionism in Germany.
