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.

Golden - 29-01-21, Drawing, Pastels on Paper

Located in Yardley, PA

Golden - 29-01-21 Addition to the Series After my previous pastel drawing I decided to do a totally different one. Not in hatched strokes but smoothed out I had in mind. My graphite pencil drawing 'Roundism - 31-03-20 (sold)'served as the motif. I was to execute it in bigger format anyway and thought that it could be an addition to the Golden Series. Yellow Since the start of my quest in pastel I did not work on yellow paper very often. For some reason yellow is very hard to work with, certainly because it is so dominant.

Portrait d’un Jeune Philosophe – Modern Cubist Abstract Figurative Portrait

Located in PÉRIGUEUX, FR

Portrait d'un Jeune Philosophe (Portrait of a Young Philosopher) 55 x 38 cm Acrylic on canvas Signed lower right Framed This expressive portrait captures a young man fragmented into overlapping profiles, planes, and architectural forms. Rendered in Mathias’s Diachronic Cubism, the figure appears at multiple moments of thought simultaneously—looking, reflecting, withdrawing—suggesting an inner dialogue rather than a fixed identity. Cool blues and greys dominate the composition, offset by warm ochres and muted greens that structure the space like a cityscape of ideas. The repeated faces and directional lines evoke both introspection and intellectual tension, reinforcing the title’s reference to philosophy as an active, layered process rather than a static pose. The composition balances human presence with abstract geometry, blurring the boundary between mind and environment. This creates a sense of movement in time: the same subject perceived across successive instants of contemplation. Collector’s Insight: This work exemplifies Mathias’s ability to merge portraiture with temporal fragmentation. Rather than depicting a likeness, he constructs a psychological landscape—ideal for collectors drawn to modern figurative abstraction with conceptual depth. The vertical format enhances its architectural rhythm and makes it particularly striking in intimate or transitional spaces. Perfect For: Collectors: – Figurative abstraction with intellectual or philosophical themes – Contemporary European cubist lineage Interior Designers & Decorators: – Studies, libraries, offices, or reading corners – Modern, contemporary, or intellectually curated interiors – Vertical wall art...

Located in Segovia, ES

The waitress. Oil on canvas, three quarter portrait of a beautiful waitress. Cubist style Measurements in centimeters: 122 x 48 x 2 cm / Framed: 152 x 78 x 4 cm. In Inches: 48.03 x 18.9 x 0.79 " Framed: 59.84 x 30.71 x 1.57 " Original three-quarter close-up of the surprised model at work, with the carefree and seductive air of young and happy waitresses at work. The painting is harmonious in its rich shades of blue, white, grey and violet, combined with muted, earthy tones and tints of ocher flesh. The flattened perspectives, the fractured surfaces and the graphic stylizations refer to the cubism of Picasso and Juan Gris. There are echoes of Modigliani in the treatment of his female models and we can detect an homage to Gauguin and Matisse, in his playful and sensual manipulation of color. ABOUT THE ARTIST Alfredo Roldán (Madrid- Spain, 1965) is a self-taught artist who, at the age of 22, began selling his works at street markets. In 1994 he won the award granted by the City Council of Madrid with the painting “El Baño Azul”, which now hangs in The Museum of Modern Art of Madrid. That year he began to work with the renowned British dealer...
