Cubism
Les Demoiselles D'Avignon by Picasso.
The first cubism painting.
Naked women, fruit, all posing, background of shapes, blocks/cubes, curved lines on the women, sheets, maybe a brothel, angular.
Picasso thought this was one of his most ugly paintings.
The beginning of cubism
Cubism - cube, too break the objects down into the original, basic shapes.
Cameras were now every day items, photos capture real life. Artists needed to do something different.
Could paint multiple viewpoints.
Breaking down nature to understand it. Atoms/science.
DECONSTRUCTING TO UNDERSTAND THE 'BUILDING BLOCKS'
Transport - cars etc.
Picasso visited museums in Paris and like the African masks. And painted them onto the women in the paining. He looked outside of his culture.
The faces get more distorted as you go left to right. The faces are similar to each other and to his early self portraits.
INFLUENCE OF NON-WESTERN IMAGERY
Inside a brothel. Not significant

Time-lapse.
Movies.
Futurism on Italy, machinery and electronics industry stuff. Technology.
No gender, humans and machines coming together.
How is cubism and modernist similar?
Place of humans above the universe, in control.
No spiritual element.

The beginning of Cubism
Cubism- Cube
Break objects down to the shapes they were made of- deconstructing in order to understand what the building blocks were.
Inspired by traditional African masks at a museum. Looking beyond his own culture to show his images.
African culture was big with the Cubists. Non-western imagery
Five women inside a brothel.
Cameras were invented, no need for realistic paintings- painters had to do what the cameras couldn't. Painters were not needed.

By Carissa saul
Picasso 1907- 6 naked women, disfigured, bright colours, fruit, lots of line work, oranges and blues and whites, posing, not realistic, blocked, some curved lines, two faces mask like, lots of linen like objects, possibly brothel, one hand is realistic, bed maybe, angular. Hundreds of drawings, painted and thought it was the ugliest thing he's ever painted, George Braque said looking at the painting was like drinking paint stripper, became known as the beginning of cubism, cubism was to break objects down to the elements they were made of, the invention of the camera led artists to want to move away from traditional art as they weren't needed, show objects at different angles at the same time, multiple view points, science was breaking down nature to smallest components to understand so was art visually, deconstructing to understand the 'building blocks', inspired by museums in Paris interested in traditional African masks, looked beyond his own culture, faces disintegrate from left to right, generic face shapes, influence of non-western imagery, supposed to predict women in a brothel, how you paint was his focus, 'nature is just something to push around'- Picasso,
Multiple viewpoints, each section different viewpoints therefore broken down, books, suit, stair case, almost no colour, hardly any, shapes and tones are left, sitting down, looking down, relaxed, beard, bottle to left hand side, finger, right arm down and to the front, trying to do things photography can't, more detailed than first realised,
Women with a mandolin, face looking down at mandolin, details simplified down, artist deconstructing then put it back together, pretty much no colour, removed some tone, painting as representation, must understand basics
Nudes descending a staircase, silent movie inspiration, can not be done with photograph, simplified, same colour different tones, one event at different times, human but gender unidentified, futurism-idea of machines, thought war was greatest idea, de shump similar idea to technology, interested in human and machines becoming the same, humans using machines to enhance their humanity, metropolous considered first science fiction main character similar to painting. Modernism human intelligence, humans above the universe and in control, God being irrelevant, no spiritual element, all about the physical

Scientist broke down things to its simplest so that the component could be understood - this was also seen in cubism as artist deconstructed artworks to their simplest forms so artists could understand what the 'building blocks' were
Influence of non-western imagery

No spiritual element more towards the physical elements

The colours consists of many warm toned colours
The picture is not realistic
Abstract
Shapes and not clear with what the image is
The women are posing and they are naked
There is a small portion of fruits
Two of the women faces look like they have masks on
Very angular and blocky
Picasso made many other images leading up to the final image
When he painted this artwork, he concluded that the painting was one of the most ugliest paintings he had ever painted
This painting was not placed in an exhibition until probably the 1913
This was the beginning of cubism and 20th century art
The idea of showing an object from more than one angle at a time - the woman at bottom right corner shows the woman's side and front face
Inspired by visiting some museums in Paris and he was looking at traditional African masks and Pablo also visited other cultures
The progression of the female, disintegrates from left to right - a representation of the himself through the females in the middle of the painting
Depiction of five women within a brothel
Pablo's main subject was how to paint and not the meaning
Portrait of Ambroise Vollard
1910
Pablo Picasso
Oil on canvas
Multiple viewpoints - front,side and the top
Each little section different
The painting is mostly grey, the removal of colour which leaves the shapes and tone

On the left hand side to his head is a bottle and there is finger over his suit
Pablo was painting something photography could not grasp

There is bookshelf with books
Woman with a Mandolin
1910
Oil on canvas
Georges Braque
A women who is holding a mandolin
The woman's face is looking down at possibly what her hand is doing - the image of her face is of the side
There is no definite positions of the components and the details have been simplified down so that the artist could deconstruct the painting and place it all together towards the end
The colours are dull
Removed colour, tone and detail

Marcel Duchamp
Oil on canvas
Time lapse of a figure moving down the stairs
Taken 4 or 5 seconds of action which has been compressed in which can't been shown through a photograph
It is one event taken at multiple times
The figure is left ambiguous as Duchamp never stated whether the painting was of a man or woman
The idea of human and machines becoming more alike (more of the machines side) - humans using technology to improve humanity

5 women in a brothel.
Picasso did hundreds of drawings leading up to it.
Picasso thought it was ugly.
Picassos mate said that looking at the painting was akin to drinking paint stripper.
This artworks marks the beginning of the 20th century and Cubism.
Cubism was to break an image down to the shapes it was made of. The act of deconstructing an image.
With the introduction of cameras, painters weren't needed to paint the everyday. So artists began to try things.
Cubism - cube
Multiple viewpoints.
Deconstructing to understand the building blocks- like science.
Influence of non western imagery.
Artwork whose main subject is how painters paint.
Picasso used painting to und raga ding how he can do art in new ways.
Picasso: Portrait of Ambrose
Multiple viewpoints
Cubists at this point in time, in attempts to understand the building blocks of art, stripped away everything that detracted from that. In this artwork that is colour. All that is left are the colour of the face, shapes and tones.
Sad faced man.
