Easy Cubism Art Movement - Analytic Cubism vs Synthetic Cubism - Cubist portrait

In this easy cubism art movement video I look at Cubism and the difference between analytic cubism vs synthetic cubism. I can’t possibly tell everything about Cubism in this video so this is cubism light or easy cubism art. It’s also from my personal viewpoint. The Cubism art movement started around 1907 and lasted until 1920. I will paint a cubist portrait or cubist face, cubist style. Later on in this video I will also paint a cubist collage. The synthetic cubism collage is more fun to do, you can combine all sort of materials.

You did it again Albert. You truly nailed it. Though I have some experience painting cubist art, your lesson and how you deconstructed the principles of cubism made it even simpler and more accessible for me to execute. This clip is a Grammy award-deserving production. Thank you for the lesson.

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Hi Salim, thanks, where can I collect the Oscar 😁 It gave headaches but suddenly I saw how I could tell the story. It was all new to me but thanks to you for asking for it. I could no longer skip this interesting art style. I'm glad I made the video and dove into it. Have a happy day, Albert

Hi Steve, thanks. It was also interesting to make. You suggest Stuart Davis, interesting, thanks. Because I live in Europe I tend to see more European painters, so I'm always happy when a new painter is introduced to me. I'll put him on my (long and growing) list. Albert

Love this video!! It's so fun, informative and delightful 😄 that's pretty mind-blowing, that one movement, Cubism, was the foundation for so much art and style (even comic books🦸‍♂️when you think about it) ever since.

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Thanks Carrie, it's also a bit logica because it came along not so long after abstract became the new thing. So when something looks like squares it's not always cubism style inspired. But it certainly had an influence. And it's fun style to try for yourself. Albert

[@freelanceart1019]

How do I draw a cubism side profile?

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Hi FreelanceArt, thanks for asking. You probably mean the Picasso artwork where you see half side portrait merged with a half full frontal. I suggest you draw or paint to abstracted portraits (one side, one frontal) and cut out the side and put them on top of each other. Look for examples on the internet. I think you will be able to get there by yourself. Happy painting,. Albert

Hi Alison, I just checked the moment in the video and I feel it again. It's interesting to do and experience it yourself. It helped me to understand, but it was way out of my comfort zone. But who knows, a different type of cubist portrait, a more colorful, one could be nice. Albert

[@alfrancis8]

@@ImperfectPaintings Yours turned out well, so bravo. I think of painting everyday for the last 15years even with materials stacked in front of me for many of those years without being able to pick up a pencil to draw, frozen. The art that I appreciate is not the style that I can do best so its also a struggle even liking what i make. Your videos help, in that it lessens the pressure and encourages to have fun and be free.

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Hi Alison, thanks for sharing your personal story. I can relate a little because I would love to paint an interesting portrait but I lack the skills but also the motivation to dive into it. Fear, simple fear of not being good enough. So I do other things, like abstract. And I like it more every day. I guess any subject you dive into can bring joy. In the mean time my skill level rises and perhaps I try it again next year. I guess you catch my drift. Just start doing anything creative, try every other day to scribble whatever. Get the motor running. I got the advice some time ago and it helped me to get unstuck. Wishing you the best, Albert

Great by why newspaper? it doesn't last that long

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Hi Mysteryguy, the cubist artists added all sort of materials in their artwork, also newspapers (the word Figaro is the name of a French newspaper), a piece of rope and so on. In the years 1960 and later artists used even worse materials, a nightmare for the curators now. Thanks for your comment, have nice day, Albert
