Cubism is a revolutionary art movement that radicalized our way of seeing while opening up countless possibilities. Though it appears in music, literature, and architecture, Cubism is primarily found in the visual arts—especially on the two‑dimensional surface of the canvas—and is recognized as a major avant‑garde movement in painting. The term is widely used to describe the art produced in Paris from the 1910s to the 1920s. The exaggerated, tactile images of Paul Cézanne served as the primary catalyst for Cubism. By representing three‑dimensional structures, it introduced a new visual experience through novel viewpoints, forms, and perspectives. Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque are credited as the founding Cubist artists, alongside Fernand Léger, Henri Le Fauconnier, Juan Gris, Albert Gleizes, Robert Delaunay, and later contributors such as Paul Klee. In Cubist works, objects are abstracted, analyzed, broken apart, and reassembled—flattened, fragmented, and collaged. This hardcover volume of 96 pages offers striking reproductions and insightful biographical notes, graphically exploring the various facets of Cubism and tracing its most significant developments in modern art.
