2. CUBISM
Manahil Nadeem

5. WHAT IS CUBISM?
Cubism is a style of art. In cubist artworks, objects are
broken up, analyzed, and re-assembled in an abstracted
form—instead of drawing objects from one viewpoint,
the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of
viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context.
Cubism does not really concern lifelike representation.
Usually the surfaces come together at random angles to
remove the sense of depth. The background and object
planes interpenetrate one another to create the shallow
ambiguous space, one of cubism's distinct characteristics.

8. WHEN DID IT START?
Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque created
cubism in 1907. When Picasso and Matisse
became friendly rivals and competed
against each other, Picasso entered a new
period in his work, marked by the
influence of Greek, Iberian and African art.

11. AN ARTIST WHO WORKED IN
THIS STYLE?
Pablo Picasso
worked in
cubism. Here is a
piece if artwork
by him named
‘Three Musicians’.

14. WHERE WAS HE FROM?
PABLO RUIZ PICASSO WAS FROM MALAGA, SPAIN AND WAS
ALSO BORN THERE. HOWEVER, HE SPENT MOST OF HIS
ADULT LIFE IN FRANCE.

17. WHO/WHAT INSPIRED HIM
TO WORK IN CUBISM?
Picasso's cubism was
influenced by the artist
Ce'zenne, who "in
searching for basic
expressive forms, largely
disregarded surface
appearance and
transformed familiar
shapes; in building his
images he ignored the
traditional values of
sentiment and beauty".

20. DO I LIKE CUBISM?
I like this style of art because it is
unique; it is different from all the
other styles. Showing it from multiple
points of view simultaneously can
only capture the essence of an object
and this is what cubism does.

23. HOW IS CUBISM DIFFERENT
FROM STILL LIFE?
Cubism is different from earlier realistic still life
artworks because cubism is not often realistic. The
picture above does not look realistic to real life
because it is basically cut out images stuck
together to form a complete image. Also that still
life is precise, it is accurate, cubism is not as it is
parts of an object put in random places. Still life has
a sense of depth while cubism purposely removes
this.
