Cubism
|
Cubism describes a style in the modern art which had its peak of the beginning of the 20th century. The Cubism took a turning point in painting and was the beginning of the abstract and non-factual art. The word Cubism is derived from the Latin word "cubus" which means cube. Cubism deals with the transition from factual to abstract forms. In 1907 and 1908, independent from each other, the first pure Cubistic works were created by George Braque and Pablo Picasso. Cubism had its peak in 1914 and was a kind of rebellion against the realistic painting style of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The objects look very angular and dashed to shivers, and have then only a few links left to the realistic form of the things. The representors of Cubism perceived the strong accents of light and color effects within the works of that time as sentimental. On their turn, they tried to approach to the objects strictly analytically. Especially the works of the early Cubism lay more accent on the language of forms than on colorfulness. This is the reason why the works are mainly held in earthy, weak, grayish shades of color.
