Cubism Paintings

in Paris between 1907 and 1914. It marked a significant departure from traditional techniques of perspective, modeling, and chiaroscuro, instead emphasizing the flat, two-dimensional surface of the canvas and fragmenting objects into geometric forms.

Cubist paintings reduced objects to geometric shapes like cubes, spheres, and cylinders, often presenting them from multiple viewpoints simultaneously.

The movement rejected the illusion of depth, focusing instead on the flatness of the canvas.

Cubist artists depicted subjects from multiple angles at once, creating a sense of visual complexity.

Initially, Cubism used muted colors, but later evolved to incorporate more vibrant hues. Texture was also explored through collage techniques in Synthetic Cubism.
