This is a painting of some! This painting has been analyzed about a billion times. Note the obvious influence of the African masks on the two figures on the right side. Hooray! Man, this is so much better than Rococo! This painting was a precursor to what later fleshed out into cubism. This was true abstraction of an object for the first time. This was the ‘analytical’ aspect of Cubism (it lasted from 1908 till 1911ish). A new approach of multiple perspectives came into being. So all realistic perspective went out the door and there went the neighborhood. They felt that this is the way the object should be represented.
If you look at an object though, it looks different from different angles. The tradition of European oil painting was becoming a bit stagnant with the ever changing world and these two musketeers (they later joined the army and fought for the French in WWI) (wait.why did the “Three Musketeers” have swords instead of muskets?! I just did a 10 page image search and not one of the bastards was holding a musket at all.) Picasso and Braque talked a lot about how paintings only truly work from one angle.the angle that the artist was looking at it from. Picasso and Braque met in Paris and developed cubism after learning of a mutual love of painting, drawing and being totally ghey for Cezanne. This would influence precursors to cubism like. She would eventually meet a young Pablo Picasso at her gallery (he was there to ogle the Matisse paintings) and they would talk extensively about all kinds of art, bonding especially on tribal masks from Gabon’s Fang tribe. Stein was open minded enough to realize the intense creativity that was bustling around her and purchased many early works by artists like Cezanne, Matisse, Derain, Gauguin, Renoir.etc etc. The boundaries between styles are not absolute but, thanks to field studies done between 18, the origins of reliquaries that came to Europe relatively early have been more or less identified: in fact, 'Pahuin idols' are found in the earliest collections of Paul Guillaume, Jacob Epstein, Andri6 Derain, Felix F6n6on, and others… Gertrude Stein was an American writer and gallery owner in Paris. Since the seventeenth century, these tribes have traveled hundreds of kilometers through the heart of the forest, moving southwest.
Pahuin Idols!!! The territory covered by the Fang ethnic group, formerly called the Pahuins, is vast: it extends from the region of Yaounde in Cameroon to the Ogoou6 River in Gabon and includes equatorial Guinea. Since painting these things is lame and boring artists needed to find a way to express themselves in a world that was constantly changing in technological sense. Now, ya gotta remember here, it’s turn of the century Europe and in the last 40 years photography, cinematography, sound recording, the telephone, the motor car and the airplane were all invented. This attracted the future cubists Pablo Picasso and George Braque- who also employed Cezanne’s theory of breaking down objects into spheres, cylinders and that’s right kids- cubes. Perspective drawing was/is the method of conveying 3 dimensional objects on two dimensional surfaces. He eventually achieved a method that did not make him have to deal with the constraints of traditional boring-assed perspective drawing. Cezanne’s Influence on Cubism Paul Cézanne Bibemus Quarry oil on canvas, 1895 Museum Folkwang Cezanne was crazy about creating depth in paintings.
