Back to questions Analysis of form How did Cubism change the way we see the world? • Flat colour – no illusion of 3D by using shading or tonal modelling • Objects painted from different angles • Complex interlocking shapes create feelings of tension & anxiety in viewer • Vertical or diagonal plane lines disrupt the composition • Details are edited out = simplify, select & modify from nature
