Cubism was an art style that was pioneered by Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) and Georges Braque (1882-1963) from 1907 to 1914. The primary influence on Cubism was the work of Paul Cezanne (1839-1906), who emphasized breaking up the picture plane into a multiplicity of facets seen from a binocular perspective, rather than outlined objects delineated against a three-dimensional depth, as well as reducing natural objects into their simplest forms (cubes, cones, cylinders, spheres, etc.). To that the Cubist artists were to add the dimension of time, with the object represented from the perspective of a moving observer. Cubism is notable for attracting artists who were older, in addition to younger, than its founders. Other artists who were proponents of or significantly influenced by Cubism included Lyonel Feininger (1871-1956), Fernand Leger (1881-1955), Robert Delaunay (1885-1941), Juan Gris (1887-1927), and Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968). Cubism had a direct influence on the Italian Futurism and Russian Constructivism art movements, best typified by Umberto Boccioni (1882-1916) and Kasimir Malevich (1879-1935), respectively.

Pablo Picasso was born in 1881 in Malaga, Spain. He died in 1973 at the age of 92 in Mougins, France. He first studied art under his father, Jose Ruiz, who was a painter and art professor. Picasso studied art at the Academy of Arts in Madrid, but left after one year. In the pre-war years at the start of the century, he divided his time in Madrid and Paris.

In his mature years from the 1920s on, he painted in a more personalistic style, combining abstract, surrealistic, neo-classical, and political influences. [More...]
