Design Movement: Cubism (DD1000)


Cubism first came to light in the early 20th century, derived by both Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. It has inspired movements in music, architecture and literature and is declared to be the most influentuel art movemnet of that century. Cubism basically consists of simplified shapes such as spheres and cylinders which depict natural forms. The term cubism is said to have originated by a man named Matisse refering to cubes when observing a pianting by Braque.
I find the style of this movement very interesting as the shapes create obscure images and the architecture is nice to look at, as seen in the image above.
