Excerpt of bullet points:
~ inspired by three-dimensional form in the late works of Paul Cézanne
~ like Cézanne, these artists rendered perspective by use of color
~ warm reddish browns advancing and the cool blues receding
~ avant-garde art movement that revolutionized painting and sculpture
~ pioneered by Braque, Picasso, Metzinger, Gleizes, Delaunays, Léger and Gris
~ process: objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form
~ artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints
~ radically fragmented objects, whose several sides are seen simultaneously
~ faceting or simplification of geometric forms; association of mechanization and modern life
~ overall, Cubism went after the flat, two-dimensional surface of the picture plane
~ rejected: perspective, foreshortening, modeling, chiaroscuro and art’s needing to imitate nature
