Cubism is.. • a more modern art

movement in which forms are abstracted by using an analytical approach to the object & painting the basic geometric solid of the subject.

Cubist Style..• emphasized the

flat, two-dimensional surface of the picture plane, rejecting the traditional techniques of perspective, foreshortening, modeling, and chiaroscuro and refuting time-honored theories of art as the imitation of nature.

Cubist painters..• were not bound to

copying form, texture, color, and space; instead, they presented a new reality in paintings that depicted radically fragmented objects, whose several sides were seen simultaneously.

Analytical Cubism is..

• where objects are fragmented & displayed from several different angles at once

Synthetic Cubism..• is where artists

reconstructed the space & display of their works with fragmented forms
