Abstract
This paper explains that Cubism is the process of passage from a bar-baric dis-symmetry to an advanced abstract geometry. The paper then looks at how the the term analytical Cubism refers to Picasso and Braque's work of 1910 through early 1912 and how the term synthetic Cubism refers to their work of later 1912 through 1914. It also examines the objective contributions of Picasso and Braque to the development of modern art, particularly towards abstraction.
From the Paper
"By 1909, Picasso, working in close collaboration with Georges Braque, had invented Cubism, a kind of painting more sculptural than any before, since it presented simultaneously more than one view of the subject. Indeed, Picasso had definitely renounced the traditional chia roscuro - the technique of evoking three-dimensional form by reproducing the way that incident light plays across it, producing a sequence of highlights and shadows. Picasso apparently considered chiaroscuro a "dishonest" way of representing three-dimensional form; he therefore turned to faceting as a means of describing three-dimensional form without using conventional shading. After the dematerialization of form in Impressionism, and the flattening of form in Post-Impres sionism, this restoration of a sense of sculptural solidity (without a return to conventional real ism) was a major achievement.

Abstract
This paper examines the style, artists and impact of cubism, the most prominent art movement of the early 20th century. The paper discusses early influences on the development of cubism, including Paul Cezanne, Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso. Next, the paper studies analytic cubism and critiques some of the style's most well-known paintings and sculptures. The paper concludes with an investigation of the passing of cubism and its legacy on the art world.
From the Paper
"Cubism is the most influential art movement to emerge in the first quarter of the Twentieth Century. "It may have said to have begun in 197 with Pablo Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon. The movement was influenced by archaic and primitive sculpture. Particularly of West Africa." (Alexander, p. 288) Another influence was Paul Cezanne, whose works were exhibited in Paris in 1905 and 1907. It was something he said that started some of the other Parisian artists moving toward Cubism. "You must see in nature the cylinder, the sphere, and the cone." He published this in 1907, but the actual term "cubism" may have come from Henri Matisse's phrase: "avec les petits cubes" (with little cubes). He said that in a disparaging way upon seeing some of the works of Georges Braque."

Abstract
This paper explains how Cubist painters and sculptors rejected many of the formally accepted elements of art in favor of ambiguous and indeterminate representations of art. The paper also describes the unique characteristics of Cubism and takes a look at the importance of the Cubist movement, its influence on modern art, the philosophy behind the movement, and some of the more famous Cubist artists.
From the Paper
"Cubism was a philosophy and style of art that also questioned all established values of art. It also ?created an artistic language of intentional ambiguity?. (ibid) In order to understand Cubist sculpture beyond just its formal and technical innovations, it is important to understand something of the background to the modernist era of artistic re-evaluation."

From the Paper
"Cubism was one of the major transformations of Western art in this century and is seen as a revolutionary shift in thought and technique. The traditional distinction is between solid form and the space around it, but Cubism offers a different few with a radically new fusion of mass and void. Cubism allowed the artist to depart from preconceived notions of place and perspective which gave discrete objects an exact location and illusion of depth. Rather the artist could now create "an unstable structure of dismembered planes in indeterminate spatial positions" (Rosenblum 13). Thus the Cubist work of art was not simply a representation of a separate external, but considered "that the work of art was itself a reality that represented the very process by which nature is transformed into art (Rosenblum 13).
Apollinaire's definition of Cubism contains elements that could ..."

Abstract
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."

From the Paper
"According to the popular Internet art encyclopedia, 'Artcyclopedia,' the Cubist movement in art developed between the years of 1908 and 1912, amongst a small colony of European artists. The early Cubist's main influences were said to have been Tribal Art, as prefigured in the works of the post-impressionist Paul Cezanne. (Artcyclopedia, 2005) Unlike these earlier artist's works, however, which still had recognizable, realistic forms, in Cubist paintings the subject matter was broken up, analyzed by the painter, and then reassembled in an abstracted form of shapes and stark designs."

Abstract
The writer asks the question of why George Braque did not enjoy the same renown as Pablo Picasso. The paper looks at the history of the artistic life of Braque and gives an overview of his work, noting the maturation and development of style. The paper concludes with the assertion that Braque is the father of cubism because he created the first analytic work.
From the Paper
"During the summer of 1908 in southern France, Braque painted a series of radically innovative canvases, of which the most celebrated is ?Houses at L?Estaque?; in this painting we can see the slab volumes, sober coloring, and warped perspective typical of the first part of what has been called the analytical phase of Cubism. This painting was shown in a show at Kahnweiler's gallery. It provoked from the Paris critic Louis Vauxcelles a remark about "cubes" that soon blossomed into a stylistic label. This painting was the painting that gave cubism its name. Vauxcelles?s remarked about the canvas being full of small cubes, and this comment was the spark that constituted the name of the movement."

Abstract
This is a brief analysis of Picasso work in the first half of the 20th Century. It looks at the progress of his work and what influenced them. From his time in Paris to his stint in Barcelona, this paper offers insight to the first half of Picasso's incredible career.
From the Paper
"Pablo Picasso's literary friends, Guillaume Apollinaire and Alfred Jarry, influenced his work. These new acquaintances, whom he met in Paris after his return in 1904, influenced three, if not more, paints: Women in a Chemise (1905), Self-portrait (1906), and Ubu (1937). The Women in a Chemise and Ubu were attributed to the artistically written piece of both men, but Self-portrait might have been a response to a review, of Picasso, by Apollinaire. Picasso's association with these two gentlemen can be seen in some of his work."

From the Paper
"In the early twentieth century, Picasso introduced the style of painting which has come to be known as Cubism. This style is characterized by a distortion of figures, the breaking down of objects into basic shapes, and the depiction of multiple viewpoints all at once. According to the art historian Anna Moszynska, "this extreme fragmentation of form marked a fundamental break with existing modes of pictorial expression" (Moszynska, 1990, p. 11). Picasso's abstraction of reality was seen as being shockingly new at the time. However, Picasso was not alone in creating Cubism. In this, he was strongly influenced by the Post.Impressionist painters who came before him. Specifically, he was influenced by Cezanne's use of basic geometric shapes to depict landscapes and objects. Guided by the work of Cezanne, "Picasso began to treat solid forms in a more ..."

From the Paper
"France
French artists in this century continued a process started by the Impressionists in the last century by questioning the meaning of art and by trying to extend that meaning into new areas. Art is sometimes concrete in style and form and sometimes abstract, but the concept of "art" itself is an abstraction. Art is a form of personal expression that has meaning only in a social setting. Art communicates, and this means it must consist of an artist to shape the message, the medium in which the message is shaped, and the audience to whom the message is communicated. "Message" here may be only aesthetic principles which become art when they are recognized as such. In each era, the aesthetic principles will differ, with some ideas discarded and others newly accepted. There are..."

Abstract
This paper explains that Pablo Picasso helped develop both analytic cubism, which involved using brown colors and analyzing individual things based on their shapes, and synthetic cubism, which involved making a collage and the use of color. The author points out that, through symbols as clues, Picasso was able to leave the interpretation of the art to the viewer. The paper concludes that Picasso's unique style changed the world of art forever because incorporating different aspects of an object into the painting all at once was considered very revolutionary at the time and went against what had always been done.
From the Paper
"In 1901, Picasso began signing his painting with simply "Picasso," which is the name that he is still known as to this day. This is when his "Blue Period" started, as he used sombre blue colors, since he lost a close friend around this time period due to a suicide. In 1904, Picasso moved to Paris for good and bought a studio there. This also marked the beginning of his "Rose Period," where he used more cheerful colors like red and orange. Many people think his happiness was brought about as a result of his relationship with Fernande Olivier, as well as his interaction with a different style of art in France. In 1906, Picasso made his first major sale to art dealer Ambroise Vollard for 2000 francs. Around this time, Picasso began to experiment with the style that would make him famous: Cubism. "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" is credited with being the first cubist painting on record. Picasso painted that in 1907 at the age of 26."

Pablo Picasso, 2004.

Abstract
Pablo Picasso has been, without question, the single most influential artist of the early 20th century, both as a public figure and an artist. He has been credited, along with Braque, for the creation of Cubism, and his work in every other genre set the bar for his contemporaries. This paper shows that Picasso's styles, over the course of his eighty-year-long career, ranged from Neo-classicism to Cubism to Neo-expressionism. His work even influenced the great abstract painters. His work was always genius and usually controversial. The paper shows that, while his work has been accepted by the mainstream, his life remains controversial to this day.
From the Paper
"External strife was also a muse for many of his greatest political works. During his Blue era, he painted the outcasts of society. When his beloved France was plunged into war, he painted one of his greatest masterpieces, the Guernica. This giant mural commemorated the slaughter of his people and condemned the rising fascist movement. He remained artistically active when Paris was over-run by the Nazis as well. While he was regularly questioned by them, and his art decried by the Nazi Party as degenerate, he was strangely never arrested or detained."
