George Braques' and Analytic Cubism

Paper Summary:

This art study analyzes the premise of George Braques' role in the creation of analytic cubism within the Cubist movement of the early twentieth century. It shows how Braques brought forth a popularization of the Cubist movement alongside Pablo Picasso to generate conceptual and simultaneous perspective on cubes, which had made a great impact on the success of the overall movement.

From the Paper:

"This was the major influence that Braques had in conjunction with Picasso, forming a new style of painting that had become far more conceptual than anything done before. Although certain forms of cubism did use a various geometric patterns in a one-dimensional application, Analytic Cubism was created by Braques in order extend the way that Nature often depicted objects in the human mind, rather than from externally inspired perceptions that may be seen by the eye. Braques played an integral part in learning to see objects within his mind's eye, which would translate into various still life objects found in his works. In this manner, his painting describe the way and manner in which he played a crucial role in how cubes were to be conceptualized in a simultaneous perspective."
