Cubism is one of the greatest and
widely appreciated art movements of the twentieth century,
developed by the Spanish artist, Pablo Picasso and the french artist, Georges Braque. In 1909, Picasso and Braque's
collaboration led to the creation of Cubism. The sense of a grid in their paintings became apparent along with the relations
between forms.² Both of them were interested in African and Oceanic sculptures along with the Post-Impressionist painter, Paul Cézanne.
The combination of characteristics from the tribal arts with Cézanne's advice and style, helped pave the way for the development of Cubism.
There are three phases in the development of Cubism:
Facet Cubism Synthetic Cubism Analytic Cubism
