The Beginnings of Cubism Picasso had Gertrude

Stein sit 92 times for this portrait. He struggled with this painting and then left for Spain in 1906. Upon his return, he finished the painting from memory, giving her face a stylized, mask-like appearance.

Picasso, Still Life with Chair Caning, 1912

Synthetic Cubism Collage is the

technique of gluing

additional materials

to a background

surface.

The subdued palette

of Analytical Cubism

gave way to a bright

color palette of red,

yellow and blue.

Braque The artists tried to rebuild

the subject in new and interesting ways.

They joined separate parts of the subject together, often using more than one angle of view of the subject.

Sometimes, the artist painted the inside and the outside of the subject.
