CUBISM
·
Cubism was one of the first truly
modern movements to emerge in art. It evolved during a period of heroic and
rapid innovation between Pablo Picasso and Georges
Braque. The movement has been described as having two stages:
'Analytic' Cubism, in which forms seem to be 'analysed' and fragmented; and
'Synthetic' Cubism, in which newspaper and other foreign materials such as
chair caning and wood veneer, are collaged to the surface of the canvas as
'synthetic' signs for depicted objects.

"The square is not a subconscious form. It is
the creation of intuitive reason. The face of the new art. The square is a
living, regal infant. The first step of pure creation in art."as quoted by
Kazimir Malevich, in 'From Cubism and Futurism
to Suprematism: The New Realism in Painting' (November 1916).
