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.

Femme dans un Fauteuil, Cubist Lithograph after Pablo Picasso
Located in Long Island City, NY
A lithograph from the Marina Picasso Estate Collection after the Pablo Picasso painting “Femme dans un Fauteuil”, which recently sold at auction for $10 million USD. The original painting was completed in 1948. In the 1970’s after Picasso’s death, Marina Picasso, his granddaughter, authorized the creation of this lithograph by Laurent Marcel Salinas, who worked closely with Picasso during his lifetime. The limited edition print run was completed and published by Marina Picasso in conjunction with Jackie Fine Arts in 1982. The lithograph is printed on French Arches paper, ink-stamped by the Estate verso, and hand-signed and numbered by Marina Picasso on the recto. The embossed seal of the Estate is lower right and the printer’s chop, lower left.

Pablo Picasso, 12.3.59. II, from Bulls and Bullfighters, 1961 (after)
Located in Southampton, NY
This exquisite heliogravure after Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) originates from the rare 1961 album Pablo Picasso, Toros y Toreros (Bulls and Bullfighters). Published by Les Editions Cercle d'Art, Paris, under the direction of Charles Feld, and printed by Bosson et Auclair, Paris, during the second quarter of 1961, this edition presents a series of striking visual meditations on the bullfight—a subject that profoundly resonated with Picasso throughout his life. Created in collaboration with noted bullfighter Luis Miguel Dominguin, Toros y Toreros (Bulls and Bullfighters) unites text, photography, and Picasso’s dynamic graphic language to capture the rhythm, power, and ritual of the corrida. Executed on velin paper, this heliogravure measures 14.75 x 10.5 inches (37.47 x 26.67 cm). As issued, it is unsigned and unnumbered, consistent with the authorized 1961 publication format. This edition, realized under Charles Feld’s direction, preserves the expressive linework, tonal nuance, and kinetic immediacy of Picasso’s original drawings, exemplifying his masterful translation of motion and emotion into print. Artwork Details: Artist: After Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) Title: 12.3.59. II, from Pablo Picasso, Toros y Toreros (Bulls and Bullfighters), 1961 Medium: Heliogravure on velin paper Dimensions: Paper size 14.75 x 10.5 inches (37.47 x 26.67 cm) Inscription: Unsigned and unnumbered, as issued Date: 1961 Publisher: Les Editions Cercle d'Art, Paris Printer: Bosson et Auclair, Paris Condition: Well preserved, consistent with age and medium Provenance: From the 1961 album Pablo Picasso, Toros y Toreros (Bulls and Bullfighters), published by Les Editions Cercle d'Art, Paris Notes: Excerpted from the 1961 album (translated from French): "This album, edited by Charles Feld and realized under his direction, was completed printing during the second quarter, one thousand nine hundred sixty-one, with the collaboration for the illustrations, Imprimerie Moderne du Lion; for typographie, Imprimerie Union; for photogravure, Bosson et Auclair; for the binding, Barast et Adine; for the lithography, Fernand Mourlot. It was taken from this album CXXV examples numbered from I to CXXV and XXV out-of-commerce examples for the artist and his friends numbered from CXXV to CL. These examples are enriched with an original lithography, signed and a series of drawings drawn on Arches paper. In addition, the numbered examples of I to V have a lithography enhanced by the artist." About the Artist: Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, and ceramicist whose revolutionary vision redefined modern art in the 20th century. Born in Malaga, Spain, he demonstrated prodigious talent from an early age and trained in Barcelona and Madrid before moving to Paris, where he became the epicenter of avant-garde innovation. Picasso pioneered Cubism alongside Georges Braque, explored emotional depth through his Blue and Rose periods, and continually reinvented his style across thousands of works in painting, drawing, sculpture, and printmaking. His influence spans movements from Surrealism to abstraction, and his work remains central to global art history. The highest price ever paid for one of his artworks is approximately US $179.4 million for Les Femmes d'Alger (Version O) (Women of Algiers, Version O) (1955).
