Analytic Cubism • In Cubism, the subject matter is broken up (fractured), analyzed, and reassembled in an abstracted form. Instead of depicting objects from one viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context. Often the surfaces intersect at seemingly random angles, removing a coherent sense of depth. • Analyzes the form of the objects by shattering them into fragments spread out on the canvas. “Art that consists of inventing and not copying” • Pioneered by: Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. What are some characteristics of Cubism? Pablo Picasso “Factory, Horta de Eboo”” 1909 Portrait of Picasso (1912) Georges Braque
