Early Cubism: depiction of the whole structure of the object and its position in space, combining different viewpoints.
The Vase, Bowl, Lemon, Picasso 1907

Analytical Cubism: breaking down of the subject and the space around it into angular planes or facets that record different viewpoints and information; no interest in colour or texture

Why Cubism?“Braque scorns form, reduces everything – figures and objects –
to geometric diagrams, to cubes!”
Louis Vauxcelles, art critic, 1908

Violin and Pitcher, Braque, 1910

Analysis of form• Flat colour – no illusion of 3D by
using shading or tonal modelling
• Objects painted from different angles
• Complex interlocking shapes create feelings of tension & anxiety in viewer
• Vertical or diagonal plane lines disrupt the composition
• Details are edited out = simplify, select & modify from nature
How did Cubism change the way we see the world?
