Cubism Portraits with Picasso

Discussion: Cubism

Analytic Cubism, was both radical and influential as a short but highly significant art movement between 1907 and 1911 in France. 

In cubist artworks, objects are broken up, analyzed, and re-assembled in an abstracted form—Artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context. 

Analytic Cubism was an analysis of the subjects (pulling them apart into planes), 

Synthetic Cubism was the second main movement within Cubism that was developed by Picasso, Braque, Juan Gris and others between 1912 and 1919. 

Synthetic cubism is characterized by the introduction of different textures, surfaces, collage elements

Synthetic Cubism is more of a pushing of several objects together.

Synthetic Cubism has fewer planar shifts, and less shading, creating flatter space.
