Cezanne is known as the artist who inspired the movement of Cubism. Georges Braque can be seen mimicking Cezanne's work, specifically seen in "Houses at l' Estaque."
-
Cezanne's art has influenced many artists, not just the Cubists, and has been considered an inspiration for all of modern art.
-
Braque shows the highest influence of Cezanne's work and often shows paintings of similar landscapes.
-
One of Picasso's more famous paintings, this piece broke away from the traditional methods with his depiction of five naked women, though there is still fruit on the table.
-
One of the most primal examples of love in Brancusi's sculpture, "The Kiss". Here the two entities, man and woman, become one in a simplistic form.
-
This Cezanne inspired piece is the spark that named the art movement of "Cubism" itself as Braque uses "cubes" to form the houses.
-
One of the Cubist's most famous artists, Picasso adds his first sculpture to his growing collection of art.
-
Composed of geometric shapes, "The Girl" is seemingly unrecognizable as a girl whereas the mandolin is much more visible. The use of more abstract cubism is evident.
-
Unlike Picasso's "The Girl with the Mandolin," Metzinger's "Tea Time" keeps in providing a discernible subject. When viewing the painting, it is clear that the woman is holding a spoon and cup. This painting was coined "The Mona Lisa of Cubism" by an art critic, Andre Salmon.
-
This cubist depiction of an army's movement of artillery comes 3 years before the start of the Great War.
-
Gleizer's more popular cubist painting is "Man on a Balcony" however that painting shares the similar tans and creams of the other artists like Picasso and Braque. Here in "Football," Gleizer uses various colors to fill in his subjects and creates a much fuller action of the play on the canvas.
-
Delaunay is mostly known for his depictions of the Eiffel Tower. Here he has painted a view of the Eiffel Tower through a window.
-
This piece was controversial as Duchamp's fellow artists felt as if his depiction of "a nude" was wrong as he shows the subject descending stairs. The other artists felt that that was incomprehensible as the subject would never do such a thing.
-
This Picasso piece reflects a different use of mediums as he began to cut and paste newspapers to his canvas. This brought a 3-Dimensional look to the piece.
-
One of the first Cubist sculptures to share their work with the art world.
-
Gris was one of the many who found great influence in Picasso and in honor to his teacher he created this Cubist version of a portrait to pay his respects.
-
Brother to Marcel Duchamp, Raymond is known for his sculpture in Cubism.
-
Here Gris plays with the angles of the subjects and what we see as the blind allows some light to pass through the window. Gris also utilizes paper in this piece - pasted to the canvas.
-
This method of Cubism is quite unique and provides a differing view of the subjects. Here, Rivera uses dots to create multiple views of the subject which creates depth and an almost 3-Dimensional affect.
-
This "still" painting depicts bold colors and a more visible discernment of the items found on the table. This Cubist piece falls to the end of the era as artists begin to embark on more modern art movements like Futurism, Dada, etc.
