The Pioneers of Cubism

The pioneers of Cubism, primarily Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, revolutionized art around 1907-1917 by breaking traditional perspective. They depicted objects from multiple angles simultaneously, creating fragmented, geometric forms that challenge realistic representation. Cubism emphasizes structure and form over realistic detail, encouraging viewers to see subjects in a new, abstract way. This movement laid the groundwork for modern art, influencing future styles like abstract and surrealism. Picasso and Braque's collaboration, experimentation with shapes, and innovative approach marked a significant shift toward more expressive and conceptual art forms.
