Cubism in 9 Minutes: Art Movement by Pablo Picasso Explained

Picasso did not invent or start cubism. Paul Cezanne started off the style and is the father of it. Picasso was a student of cubism.

[@whiteangel4296]

@songfantasy670 Very true. There was also the Cézanne fase before the analytical, and 'Houses at L'estague' is a part of the Cézanne fase.

Cubist composition, movement, line, shape, and so much more.. it's highly immersive and wonderful to engage. I think the one element that stands out to me (and I can see why the Futurists were so inspired by this) is movement. Cubism paintings slide, shift, fluctuate, bend, scale, zoom in so many directions.

[@CuriousMuse]

So much movement indeed 💪🏻

[@Aramanth]

I always considered _e.e. cummings_ to be a cubist poet as he discarded grammar and syntax and instead put words together like a collage. Another brilliant art lesson! Well done!

[@wsralphie]

I can't avoid celebrating your work on every video, you guys are doing a terrific work! this summer I was lucky enough to visit the Basque Country, and enjoying history as much as I do I couldn't miss the opportunity to visit Guernika (by the way, the U is silent), the town has a copy of the painting in real size, for everyone to enjoy. It was a very powerful experience looking at the painting in the place that inspired it, although I had visited many times the Reina Sofia Museum previously it was a memorable moment. I'd really love if you did a video on Picasso's early work, outshadowed by his cubist phase. Cheers!

[@CuriousMuse]

Thanks for sharing your story about Guernica, this is a great example of how powerful art can be. We love to hear stories like this one ❤️. Although our favorite museum in Spain is Thyssen-Bornemisza, the room 205 with Guernica in Reina Sofia is definitely one of the most powerful museum rooms in the world 🤗. Picasso’s early works - do you mean his Blue, Pink and African periods?

[@wsralphie]

@@CuriousMuse then let me tell you another story... I was lucky enough to go visit Thyssen-Bornemisza's Magritte exhibit yesterday. I really loved his work, that guy was something else. I tried to have a quick jump to their impressionist collection (who isn't spellbound to Derain's Waterloo Bridge?), but there was no time left so I'll just have to go and visit another time (poor me... ;P). Both Blue and Pink periods, in my opinion, are overpowerded by the strength of cubism by the big audience, and it's a shame... the esthesis they channel from the author to the spectator, simply magnificent. The african perios is great, but too close to Cubism... many people would recognize Picasso in that period, I'm not sure how many would recognize him both in the blue and pink period. Cheers!

[@MrReaperofDead]

That's me! I'm a cubist artist. :D I had to read a lot of books and loot at a lot of artworks from Picasso in order to get my style. I also combine expressionism with my cubist works. It's always awesome whenever I see an artist from today that still uses one of the many genres of the past, as its very disappointing that most artists now a'days only want to simply 'make art' but have no clue or could care less about the different genres, and refuse to work off of a prior template. Doing this forsakes the memory of the great influential artist's of the past, and constructs artwork without true meaning.

[@humanitiesprofessor1912]

Please do in-depth videos on Fauvism and German Expressionism, which were contemporaneous satellite movements of Cubism. It's important to remember that Georges Braque was a Fauvist before joining Picasso and Juan Grís. And do not forget to underscore the indelible influence of primitive art on these movements, both Oceanic and especially African.

Just marvelous how art movements tackle a specific "problem". The Cubist, one of my favorites. It's been written that Cezanne and Cubism signaled the modern age in art. Agreed!

Personally, I think cubism and abstract art in general should be RECLASSIFIED as PRIMARILY a political or social tool of expression and communication. It does not have intrinsic value as visual art per se, but it gains its value and sense and depth from its societal elements and climate and historical context. It does not elicit appreciation for its visual qualities alone, but the viewer has to have a whole world of information in the back of his mind to actually make sense of it and give it value.

Thank you for the feedback. One of the things we are trying to do is to make culture more accessible and engaging to the younger audiences incl. gen z which are used to these digital things

[@rr7firefly]

One interesting thing about Cubism is how it presages what we know today as Abstract Painting. But Cubism was still largely preoccupied with an object, therefore it is not a full break from the conventions of painting, which remained figurative. I, for one, recognize Picasso's contribution, but I do not find his work universally appealing. The landmark painting "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" (which is hailed by critics as a grand masterpiece) is for me mostly 5 progressively ugly faces. The two faces on the right seem to be deliberate attempts to create a shocking impact. "Guernica" is another matter, a heroic narrative with great compositional beauty. And I will always love the giant outdoor sculpture in Chicago's Daley Plaza.

I like your content and thank you for creating these videos! This one got me thinking...it's quite bitter to say the least, isn't it? Because what came to be Cubism, this entire movement in art that brought people fame and recognition, inspiration, growth etc. is actually rooted in cultural appropriation, isn't it? And the only reason Europeans got to be inspired by the objects in the museum was because they were all violently stolen from the people who created them.

[@jaquespiek8820]

was the Puteaux Group not part of Cubism?

[@CuriousMuse]

The Puteaux group was formed by a loose grouping of various European artists who were closely related to Cubism. While the development of the first wave of Cubist painting was deeply indebted to Cézanne, the Puteaux group strove to distinguish themselves from the narrower style of Cubism developed by Picasso and Braque, and used the colour prism inherited from the Neo-Impressionists.

If it's going to be about 20th century art, they should also know how to pronounce "Dadaists", and if it's about Cubism, they should know how to pronounce "Guernica".

So interesting that not a single woman shows up in so many aspects of the art history movement. I wonder why that is? Is it just laziness people just repeating what they’ve heard and not bothering to do a deeper dive? It’s really hard to believe that there were no women artists, or is it just too many art historians parrot what they’ve been taught, and once ignoring the contribution of women artists. 🤔
