Instead they presented a new idea in which paintings depicted a radical fragmentation of reality. Cubist painters were not bound to replicating form, texture, colour or space and they rejected the inherited concept that art should emulate the natural form. The style is characterised by the use geometric shapes, cubes and unconventional formatting, to establish an abstract and progressive result. This expressionistic style disregards the more common concept of a single perspective art and instead aims to display all the possible viewpoints of a person or an object, creatively combining them in one image to represent a greater context. Cubism truly evolved the world of art and style, and has been considered as the most radical art movements of the 20th century. This avant-garde art movement revolutionised European painting and sculpture, and began an influx of inspiration throughout music, literature and architecture.
The term Cubism derived its name from remarks that were made by critic Lois Vauxcells, in which he described the geometric shapes that were present Braque’s 1908 work Houses at L’estaque, as ‘cubes’. Neo-Cubism defines a re-established form of Cubism, a profoundly prominent art movement that rooted itself in the early 1900’s, popularised by the likes of Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. Amongst these stylistic developments is a certain movement that radicalised 20th century art. A plethora of art-movements encapsulate history, each bearing their own distinct styles and characteristics that reflect the social influences of the times. The world of art-style is boundless and ever changing.
