cubist artists
Analytical Cubism (1909) characterized by the dismantling of the work in all its elements. Decomposing the work into parts, the artist records all its elements in successive and overlapping planes, seeking the full view of the figure, examining it from every angle at the same moment, through its fragmentation. This fragmentation of beings was so great that it was impossible to recognize any figure in the cubist paintings. The colour reduces to shades of brown, grey and beige.
Synthetic Cubism (1911) reacting to the excessive fragmentation of objects and the destruction of their structure. This tendency sought to make the figures again recognizable. Also called Collage because it introduces letters, words, numbers, pieces of wood, glass, metal and even whole objects into paintings. This innovation can be explained by the artists' intention to create plastic effects and to surpass the limits of the visual sensations that the painting suggests, also awakening in the observer the tactile sensations.

Picasso has developed a true revolution in art. In 1907, with the work, Les Demoiselles d'Avignon begins to elaborate the cubist aesthetics that, as we saw earlier, is based on the destruction of classical harmony of the figures and the decomposition of reality, this canvas subverted the meaning of modern art with the declaration of war in 1914, the Cubist adventure comes to an end.
