Cubist Revolution (Click to select text)
Cubist Revolution Perhaps the beginning of the Modern era could best be marked by the artistic endeavors of Georges Braque and Pablo Piccaso in fostering the creation of cubism. Cubism can best be described as a “new way of seeing” at a time when the “old way” so to speak, was upheld and defended as the only standard. Through the creations of these two men, a new thought, a new way of perception was introduced into the mainstream of society. Today, contemporary society has come to recognize the importance of Braque and Picasso’s work, but one must suspend belief for a moment to imagine a world that looked upon their work as utter garbage. When displaying their work, visionaries such as Leo and Gertrude Stein to recognized the significance of their pieces of art. Inspired by the primitive, “unknown spirit” in African art, Picasso adopted it and incorporated it into his work. In pace with his counterpart, Braque, observing and admiring the geometric shapes in Paul Cezzane’s paintings began undertaking a similar style in his work. Both men, working feverishly and sharing ideas beginning in 1907 after the unveiling of Picasso’s “Les Demoiselles” unleashed a creative spirit much like that of the Renaissance.
