Cubist Art

CUBIST STYLE

Inspired by the nontraditional ways Postimpressionists like Paul Cézanne and Georges Seurat depicted the world, Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque pioneered an even more abstract style in which reality was fragmented into flat, geometric forms. Cubism majorly influenced 20th-century Western art as it radically broke with the adherence to composition and linear perspectives that dated back to the Renaissance. Its watershed moments are considered Picasso’s 1907 Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, in which nude figures are fractured into angular shapes, and Georges Braque’s 1908 painting show, which prompted a critic to describe his visual reductions as “cubes.”

Although Cubism was a revolutionary art movement for European culture, it was informed by African masks and other tribal art. Its artists, which included Fernand Léger, Alexander Archipenko, Marcel Duchamp, Juan Gris and Jean Metzinger, experimented with compressing space and playing with the tension between solid and void forms in their work. While their subjects were often conventional, such as still lifes, nudes and landscapes, they were distorted without any illusion of realism.

Cubist art evolved through different distinct phases. In Analytic Cubism, from 1908 to 1912, figures or objects were “analyzed” into pieces that were reassembled in paintings and sculptures, as if presenting the same subject matter from many perspectives at once. The palette was usually monochromatic and muted, giving attention to the overlapping planes. Synthetic Cubism, dating from 1912 to 1914, moved to brighter colors and a further flattening of images. This unmooring from formal ideas of art would shape numerous styles that followed, from Dada to Surrealism.

By Pablo Picasso

Located in Southampton, NY

This exquisite lithograph by Pablo Picasso (1881–1973), titled Fleurs dans un Verre no 6 (Flowers in a Glass no 6), from the album Picasso Lithographe II, 1947-1949 (Picasso Lithographer II, 1947-1949), originates from the 1950 edition published by Editions du Livre, Monte-Carlo, under the direction of Andre Sauret, Editeur, Monte-Carlo, and Fernand Mourlot, Editeur, Paris; printed by Mourlot Freres, Paris, November 25, 1950. Fleurs dans un Verre no 6 reveals Picasso’s lyrical reinvention of the still life motif, combining fluid contour, spatial compression, and bold graphic clarity in a composition that exemplifies his postwar lithographic experimentation. Executed as a lithograph on grand velin Renage filigrane paper with la marque de l'editeur, this work measures 12.625 x 9.75 inches (32.07 x 24.77 cm). Unsigned and unnumbered as issued. The edition demonstrates the exceptional technical mastery of Mourlot Freres and the refined production standards associated with the collaboration between Mourlot and Andre Sauret.

Picasso Lithographe. Andre Seuret, 1949-1964, illustration 98 Condition: Well preserved, consistent with age and medium Provenance: From the album Picasso Lithographe II, 1947-1949 (Picasso Lithographer II, 1947-1949), published 1950 Notes: Excerpted from the album (translated from French), This publication, made by Fernand Mourlot and Andre Sauret, was printed in MMD examples, on grand velin Renage filigrane paper a la marque de l'editeur. It was completed to print on November 25, 1950 on the presses of Mourlot Freres and Georges Duval, master printers in Paris. The typography is from L'Imprimerie Union. About the Publication: Picasso Lithographe II, 1947-1949 (Picasso Lithographer II, 1947-1949), published in 1950 by Editions du Livre, Monte-Carlo, under the direction of Andre Sauret in collaboration with Fernand Mourlot, represents a landmark continuation of the comprehensive documentation of Picasso’s lithographic production. Conceived as part of an ambitious multi volume survey, the publication reflects the close and innovative partnership between Picasso and the Mourlot atelier, whose technical experimentation and mastery significantly advanced the possibilities of modern lithography. Printed on grand velin Renage filigrane paper bearing the publisher’s watermark, the edition exemplifies the highest standards of postwar French art publishing, combining scholarly rigor, meticulous printing, and refined materials. The collaboration between Sauret and Mourlot resulted in a foundational reference for collectors, institutions, and historians, elevating the art album into a serious vehicle for modern art scholarship and connoisseurship. Picasso Lithographe II remains an essential document of twentieth century printmaking, embodying both the technical brilliance of the Mourlot workshop and Picasso’s relentless graphic innovation. About the Artist: Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, and ceramicist whose extraordinary vision revolutionized modern art and defined the visual language of the 20th century. A child prodigy from Malaga, Spain, Picasso’s career spanned more than seven decades and encompassed an astonishing range of styles and innovations—from the melancholic Blue and romantic Rose periods to his pioneering invention of Cubism with Georges Braque, which shattered conventional notions of perspective and form. Influenced by the bold expressiveness of El Greco, the structure of Cezanne, and the vitality of African and Iberian sculpture, Picasso became a central figure of the Paris avant-garde, working in creative dialogue with contemporaries such as Henri Matisse, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray. His insatiable experimentation extended across painting, drawing, printmaking, ceramics, and sculpture, forever expanding the boundaries of artistic expression. A master of reinvention, Picasso profoundly shaped generations of artists who followed—from Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, David Hockney, and Jean-Michel Basquiat to Jeff Koons and Banksy—cementing his status as a timeless cultural icon whose works remain among the most sought after worldwide. His landmark painting Les Femmes d'Alger (Version "O") achieved a record-breaking sale of $179,365,000 at Christie's, New York, on May 11, 2015, affirming Picasso's enduring legacy as one of the most influential and valuable artists in history.

Pablo Picasso, Saltimbanque, from Fifteen Drawings, 1946 (after)

By Pablo Picasso

Located in Southampton, NY

This exquisite lithograph and pochoir after Pablo Picasso (1881–1973), titled Saltimbanque, from the folio Picasso, Fifteen Drawings, 1946, originates from the 1946 edition published by Pantheon Books, Inc., New York, and rendered and printed by Albert Carman, City Island, New York, 1946. Saltimbanque reflects Picasso’s enduring fascination with circus performers—a theme that recurred throughout his career as a metaphor for the artist’s own life and emotional world. The figure’s delicate poise and introspective expression capture both melancholy and grace, merging humanity and artistry in a timeless meditation on performance, solitude, and creative spirit. Executed as a lithograph and pochoir on velin paper, this work measures 18.75 x 12.63 inches, overall; 7.38 x 4.92 inches, image (47.6 x 32.1 cm; 18.75 x 12.50 cm). Signed in the plate and unnumbered as issued. The edition exemplifies the exemplary standards and artistic integrity of the fine art publishing and printmaking of Pantheon Books, Inc., and Albert Carman whose next collaborative project following this edition was with Marc Chagall in the creation of his monumental suite, Four Tales from the Arabian Nights in 1948. Artwork Details: Artist: After Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) Title: Saltimbanque, from the folio Picasso, Fifteen Drawings, 1946 Medium: Lithograph and pochoir on velin paper Dimensions: 18.75 x 12.63 inches, overall; 7.38 x 4.92 inches, image (47.6 x 32.1 cm; 18.75 x 12.50 cm) Inscription: Signed in the plate and unnumbered as issued Date: 1946 Edition: D, primary edition; L, out of commerce, hand signed by Pablo Picasso Publisher: Pantheon Books, Inc., New York Printer: Albert Carman, City Island, New York Catalogue raisonne reference: Orozco, Miguel. Picasso Interpretation Prints II - Etchings, Pochoirs & Woodcuts. Catalogue Raisonne. 2023, illustration 388–402 Condition: Well preserved, consistent with age and medium Provenance: From the folio Picasso, Fifteen Drawings, 1946, published by Pantheon Books, Inc., New York; printed by Albert Carman, City Island, New York, 1946 About the Publication: Picasso, Fifteen Drawings (1946) was one of the earliest fine art portfolios issued in the United States to feature the work of Pablo Picasso in the mediums of lithography and pochoir. Published by Pantheon Books, Inc., New York—a press renowned for its pioneering role in introducing European modernism to American audiences—the portfolio marked an important cultural bridge between postwar Paris and the emerging art scene in New York. The suite comprised fifteen images selected from Picasso’s prolific oeuvre, including depictions of mythological figures, musicians, and introspective portraits. Each work was rendered using a combination of lithography and pochoir, printed by Albert Carman at his atelier in City Island, New York, whose craftsmanship ensured a remarkable fidelity to the tonal and chromatic nuances of Picasso’s originals. The portfolio was produced in an edition of D, primary edition; L, out of commerce, hand signed by Pablo Picasso, issued unbound within a printed paper folder, and distributed primarily through Pantheon’s art book division under the direction of Kurt Wolff and Monroe Wheeler—key figures in shaping the intellectual reception of modern art in the United States. Picasso, Fifteen Drawings helped establish the artist’s postwar reputation among American collectors, scholars, and institutions, introducing a generation of viewers to the expressive immediacy and psychological depth of his draftsmanship. The publication also exemplified Pantheon’s broader mission to make modern European art accessible to an American audience, alongside their landmark editions devoted to Henri Matisse, Georges Rouault, and Marc Chagall. Technically refined and historically significant, the portfolio stands as a testament to the transatlantic exchange of modernist aesthetics during the mid-20th century and remains one of the most sought-after Picasso print editions issued in the United States before 1950.
