Cubism is a style of art that was created in the early twentieth century between 1907 and It was created during that time, primarily by Pablo Picasso and George Braque in Paris. Cubism is highly abstracted works that often contains geometric forms.
Pablo Picasso was one of the greatest cubist artists of all time. After all, he did help to create the style. Picasso was from from Spain, he was a painter, sculptor and graphic artist. The Weeping Woman was created in This piece explores the various features of pain the human face can show.
From the time when he was a kid, Picasso was a skilled realist artist. He was looking for a new perspective on art that would be different from the usual realist style. This style of art is definitely unique. When Picasso mixes up the face there were many possibilities, but he specifically chose that way to show the face. Even though it is like that it is still easy to see it’s a face. Everywhere you look there is something new to make out. I like the style of Cubism. This type uses many colours and makes you think!
Realistic artworks are mainly about drawing things exactly as they seem. The still life artworks that I’ve created, I was really trying to make it look realistic and 3-D. Cubism isn’t about copying down what you see. Cubism is more about using several viewpoints and meshing them together. Cubism is also more relaxed. Things like shading and proportion aren’t as important.
