CUBISM

Analytical Cubism• The first phase of Cubism (1907 to 1912)• reduced natural forms to their basic geometric

parts and then tried to reconcile these essentially three-dimensional parts with the two-dimensional picture plane. Multiple perspectives of an item shown.

• Color subdued--paintings nearly monochromatic. • Leading cubists: Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881-

1973) and Georges Braque (French, 1882-1963)

Synthetic Cubism•grew out of Analytical Cubism and the experimental nature of Collage

•developed through a construction process rather than the analytical process and deconstruction of Analytical Cubism

•more decorative and appealing and somewhat easier to interpret.
