1911-1912

ANALYTICAL CUBISM
-overlapping planes of geometric structures
- figurative imagery
- mainly depicted portraits, still life, and musical instruments
- objects were fragmented, opened, and overlapping (created depth by overlapping planes)
- abandoned emotion, perspective, colour (focussed on space and form)
- non-consistent light source

SYNTHETIC CUBISM
- collage (objects brought onto the picture plane)
- more decorative and colourful
- easier to interpret
- incorporated text

PABLO PICASSO

Collage
- object is incomplete, but viewer is still able to recognize it
- also painted and drew on the pasted paper

Sculptures
- assembled from unconventional materials (paper and cardboard)
- incorporated the room (its walls into the sculpture)
- created using flat planes
- create volume but not mass

GEORGES BRAQUE
- worked with Picasso to develop analytical cubism (often showed work to each and critiqued each other's work)
- papier colle was unique to Braque

GRIS
- more literal work
- bisected objects by their vertical and horizontals
- collages and papier colles with rich textures and colours
- used faux bois (texture that imitates wood)
- less 3D, very flat

DUCHAMP
- incorporates motion into the painting
- depicts time rather than motion
- inspired by chronophotography
- figures are fragmented and repeated
