Renaissance Artists: Cubism And Braque

Cubism was between the years 1907-1914. Cubism was the most important, the most complete, and the most artistic revolution since the Renaissance. Cubism was developed under the influence of Negro sculpture and Cezanne in the early years of cubism. The most two important artists during cubism are Picasso and Braque. Braque was a member of the Fauve group. Picasso worked outside of the Fauve group. Braque worked under the influence of Friesz and Matisse. After the war Braque had started to be seen as an artist. Cubism was a Parisian phenomenon in the beginning of cubism and until 1912.

Art history and world history influenced this period (Cubism) and its artists by seeing each other’s arts and knowing the difference. When Braque and Picasso were introduced to each other and the end of 1907 Apollinaire initiated to prove the most unusual and intensive collaborations in the history of art. Braque and Picasso had different positions in the Paris

art world. Braque was really slow in his developments. The importance of Braque arts to Cubism was seen only after the war.
The artists that were more representative during Cubism are Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Paul Cezanne, Robert Delaunay, and etc. Pablo Picasso was a Spanish painter, he was born in Spain on October 25, 1881 and died in France on April 8, 1973. Pablo Picasso is the most important person of the 20th century because of his art. George Braque was a French painter in the 20th century, he was born in France on May 13, 1882 and died in Paris, France on August 31, 1963. Braque was best known for inventing Cubism with Picasso. Braque’s and Picasso’s art were mostly done with shapes.
The style of art during Cubism were made in different ways which brought people’s attention to them and why they were made like that. Picasso’s paintings were really different from the others especially the way he painted the ladies. Picasso’s paintings of the faces were done as shapes. Most of Picasso’s paintings were made with geometric shapes and the figure of the humans were done with shapes which could give a person a lot of ideas of why it was done like that. Cezanne’s arts were done in a really good way and the painting would be showing the brush strokes. Cezanne’s arts were done in a professional way and were really focused on so it would come out good. Artists drew each other and each artists would do the painting in a different way but they mostly used geometric shapes when they drew each other.
I feel that the style of the art during Cubism best represents the “modern” era of art by the way the paintings were done. A lot of the paintings were done with shapes which was also used during the “modern” era. The paintings are done in a really good way and a person could see why it was done like that. The “modern” era of art was done in many ways and most of the artists do it that way. A lot of the paintings from Cubism are like the “modern” era of art which could explain how it’s alike and how it’s different in a way or other.
Cubism in the early 20th century had the most influential visual art styles.

Those visual art styles were created by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. Cubism has a great role about the understanding of modernism and that plays a role in the 20th century art till this day. In the article it says: “…Cubism was the cornerstone of twentieth-century art because it broke with past tradition definitively; established “modernist” flatness, opticality, and involvement with the medium of art; and thus sanctioned a new tradition that would lead to nonobjective art as well as to assemblage and to other “modernist” principles and practices.” By reading this it shows that Cubism had a huge impact in the 20th century and that it had something special about it that made it really important. Cubism is all about art and it’s also art, Picasso is really popular because of his work and that was all in the period of Cubism which is still to this day. Cubism is one of the first to be most developed in the modern era, especially in the visual

arts.
