Cubism

Cubism Cubism was perhaps the most important radical artistic revolution since the Renaissance era. Although new forms of society, different schools, styles, and changing demands have occurred over the past five hundred years, none of these have made such a drastic impact as Cubism. Cubism opened up a window into a modern abstract art which still affects artists today. There were many things that influenced the start of Cubism in the 1900’s. Many artists wanted to rebel in order to achieve artistic freedom. They did so by taking new paths away from the realism and literary art of the academic influence. New ideas were wanted instead of relearning classical paintings from the Renaissance period. They got old because it was the same methods of painting with slight variations. Paul Cézanne broke away from the Impressionists in order to paint a new form. He wanted to use the entire picture’s space in a whole new way. Basically, he painted in a way that made the canvas surface seem raised, which produced a different effect. He did this by using geometrical shapes- the cone, cylinder, cube, and others- as building blocks for the objects cubism, painting, art, picasso, new, years, one, wanted, traditional, style, said, materials, made, macdonald, form, different, braque, women, way, using, two, shapes, revolutionary, renaissance, picture, picasso’s, once, old, objects, object, modern, life, known, ideas
