“Cubism is like standing at a certain point on a mountain and looking around. If you go higher, things will look different; if you go lower again they will look different. It is a point of view.”
- Jacques Lapchitz
How Cubism got it’s name
• French art critic Louis Vauxcelles said that geometric shapes in Braque's piece “House at L’ Estaque” looked like cubes.

Analytical Cubism 1909-1912
• More intellectual stage of cubism• Cubist painters broke down the surface of
objects into basic geometrical shapes• Monochromatic (greys, blacks, browns)• Used planes, facets, and angles to create
multiple perspectives
3 principals of facets

• Overlap and cast shadows over each other• Edges dissolve, allowed facets to leak into
each other (influenced by Cezanne)
