Pioneered by Picasso and Braque, Cubism has been described as the
first avant-garde art movement of the 20th century. With
inspiration from African and Native American art and sculpture, its
practitioners deconstructed European conventions of viewpoint,
form, perspective to create flattened, fragmented, and
revolutionary images. Picasso's celebrated painting Les Demoiselles
d'Avignon is typically regarded as the original cubist work, with
its radical fracturing of objects and figures into distinct areas,
corresponding to multiple different viewpoints. Cubism thereafter
developed two distinct trends: Analytical Cubism, which continued
to interweave perspectival planes in muted blacks, greys and ochre,
and later Synthetic Cubism, characterised by simpler shapes,
brighter colors, and collage elements such as newspaper. This book
presents the prime protagonists of Cubism, with work from artists
including Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Fernand Leger, Juan Gris,
Albert Gleizes, and Robert Delaunay. About the series Born back in
1985, the Basic Art Series has evolved into the best-selling art
book collection ever published. Each book in TASCHEN's Basic Art
History series features: approximately 100 color illustrations with
explanatory captions a detailed, illustrated introduction a
selection of the most important works of the epoch, each presented
on a two-page spread with a full-page image and accompanying
interpretation, as well as a portrait and brief biography of the
artist
