Misconception of Cubism

Pablo Picasso is a world famous artist, but do we really know what his works consisted of? One of the most significant misconceptions in art is Cubism. What in fact is a form of art which entitles the audience to an open interpretation better known as abstract art. Cubism also allowed the audience to see art outside the norm. This form of art was the first art which depicted something besides nature. In fact, it earned it's name through it's technique. It was interpreted as a form of art where the artist used cube shaped figures to create their piece of work. This is one of the factors for why Cubism is misunderstood among some writers and critics. We should start by understanding what cubism really is and who were the founders of it. While it is true that Pablo Picasso began cubism, we can not neglect the other founding father, Georges Braque. Along with Picasso, he was able to develop a form of art where objects were reformed by the artist in an abstract manner in order to create more depth and meaning to the work. Like with any other theory, art, or study, Cubism followed a series of changes and reforms. It started in the early 20th century and went though what historians believe is three stages. Cubism is significant because it was a new way of art. An unfamiliar expression of life which was greatly misunderstood and neglected.
