Cubism: The Art Form

Cubism was a 20th-century art movement which was developed in Paris between 1907 and 1911. Pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, cubism transformed European painting and sculpture. This art form is distinguished by the downgrade and breakdown of natural forms into complex, often geometric structures. It was misunderstood for its radical departure from traditional European paintings. To Picasso the traditional beauties of art and the appeal of the subject was now irrelevant. Cubism was very much misrepresented by art critiques and theoretical works on the art movement. It was also neglected due to the outbreak of WWI which interrupted artistic life throughout most of Europe. Cubism also had a reflective influence on 20th-century sculpture and architecture. This art form presented a new reality in paintings and was later adopted and further developed by many artist.
