Synthetic Cubism

Synthetic Cubism is an art movement from the early 20th century, developed by artists like Picasso and Braque. It builds on earlier Cubism by combining different materials such as paper, labels, and textures into a single artwork, creating a collage effect. This approach simplifies complex forms into geometric shapes and overlapping planes, offering multiple perspectives simultaneously. Unlike earlier Cubism, which focused on breaking down objects into fragmented parts, Synthetic Cubism emphasizes brighter colors, more recognizable subjects, and a playful integration of mixed media. Overall, it encourages viewers to interpret layered, multifaceted images, reflecting a more abstract yet cohesive view of reality.
