Pablo Picasso and George Braque
George Braque Pablo Picasso
Inspired by Paul Cezanne, Pablo Picasso and George Braque developed the Cubist style in Paris between 1907 and 1914 together.

PAUL CÉZANNE (1839-1906) 'Bibemus Quarry', 1895
Cézanne abandoned perspective drawing and traditional realism. He saw painting as construction and arrangement of colour on a two-dimensional surface.
It was this flat abstract approach that appealed to the Cubists and their early paintings.
In Cubism, subjects are reduced to basic geometrical shapes. Cezanne's doctrine of "Every thing in nature takes it's form from the sphere, cone or
cylinder.“ defined cubism.

Glass and Bottle of Suze
Les Demoiselles d'Avignon of 1907 truly introduced Cubism as a modern art movement.
Picasso was greatly interested in primitive statues and sculptures, which he showed in his work immediately preceding the Les Demoiselles.
Notice his use of the primitive African masks on the right.

Primitive cubism 1907 / 1908
Analytical Cubism 1908 / 1912
In the analytic phase (1907—12) the cubist palette was severely limited, largely to black, browns, greys, and off-whites.
Forms were rigidly geometric and compositions were subtle and intricate.
The idea being to break down an image into its many angles and views, as if to "analyse" them in all their possible forms.

Synthetic Cubism 1912 / 1919
Synthetic Cubism developed through a construction process rather than the analytical process such as collage.
It was seen as the first time that collage had been made as a fine art work.
The first work of this new style was Picasso's Still Life with Chair-caning (1911-1912), which includes oil cloth pasted on the canvas.

Glass, Bottle and Journal 1912 Charcoal and faux-bois wallpaper on paper, 48 x 62 cm
Notice how Colour is stuck on, line or shading is drawn in charcoal. The glued-on imitation wood wallpaper is an ‘authentic’ illusion, as it were, hence a witty response to the call for more realism in art.

Three Musicians Fontainebleau, summer 1921
In contrast to Analytic Cubism, Synthetic Cubism is arrived at through a construction process rather than an intellectual breaking down of forms found in the real world such as cylinders, spheres, and cones. Synthetic Cubism is more decorative and experimental in nature than Analytic Cubism. http://www.artrevived.com/blogs/art-revived-blog/1132992-the-story-behind-picassos-three-musicians
