Cubism
In the beginning
of the twentieth century, the cubists were interested in the African and Native
American art and that how cubism formed. It all began in France in 1907 when
Pablo Picasso and George Braque started to paint figures in a form of cubes,
spheres, cones and other geometrical shapes. The cubists’ paintings are abstract
such as Picasso’s painting ‘The Guitar Player’; it is very difficult to notice
that there is a person. At first, the cubists used few colours in their
paintings that were brown, grey and blue but Picasso started to use the papier
colles in his paintings instead of colours.
