Cubism as a painting style was developed in the early 1900s by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque.

Picasso and Braque wanted to show the whole structure of objects in their paintings without using techniques such as perspective or graded shading to make them look realistic. They wanted to show things as they are – not just what they look like.

Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon is the first painting to be called Cubist. The name was popularized about a year later when an art critic, looking at one of Braque's paintings, said it looked like it was made of cubes.

The new style's revolutionary nature forever changed how people thought about painting. It also influenced other art forms of the time, like sculpture and poetry.

In early Cubist paintings, the artists broke down objects into basic geometric shapes such as cubes, spheres, cylinders, and cones, using the shapes to show many sides of the original object. This technique, known as Analytical Cubism, involved the deconstruction of the subject into its fundamental forms, which were then reassembled in a non-representational manner. They then painted the different parts with overlapping planes or rectangular shapes. 

The painters used a limited palette of colors because they wanted the viewer to concentrate on the shapes more than anything else. They often used only black, brown, cream, green, blue, and gray shades, creating a focused viewing experience.

After 1912, artists started using a new style called Synthetic Cubism. Painters mixed together different shapes and used more colors. Cubists during this period did not use just paint. They often pasted objects such as pieces of newspaper or cloth onto the canvas. This new style of art, called collage, was significant as it introduced a new dimension to painting, incorporating elements of the real world into the artwork.

This lovely painting by the Australian artist Catherine Abel analyzes its subject, lilies, breaks them down, and then abstractly reassembles them in Cubist form. We think it makes for a really interesting puzzle image.
