Origins and revolution of cubism and cubist sculpture

Cubism, a movement initiated in the early 20th century by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. This movement literally overturned the traditional conception of art. It deconstructed forms by reconstructing them from different angles. This trend, first explored in painting, was soon echoed in cubist sculpture by artists such as Alexander Archipenko, Jacques Lipchitz and Raymond Duchamp-Villon.

Unlike classical sculpture, which seeks to represent a recognizable reality, cubist sculpture fragments volumes, introduces angular forms and plays on the multiplication of perspectives. This radical approach gives rise to works that challenge the viewer's perception in new ways, inviting him or her to mentally reconstitute the object represented.

Characteristics of a cubist sculpture

Cubist sculpture is a major pillar ofmodern art, paving the way for ever more experimental explorations.

Cubist sculpture is distinguished by several elements:

• Deconstruction and fragmentation: the object or figure is broken down into different facets, suggesting several simultaneous points of view.
• Geometric shapes: use of angular volumes and simplified structures.
• Playing with space and depth: Cubist sculpture is not limited to a single point of view, but invites three-dimensional exploration.
• Various materials: metal, wood, bronze, plaster, often assembled in overlapping layers.

Why invest in a cubist sculpture for a company?

Cubist sculptures and their influence on contemporary art

Cubism was born in the early 20th century, but its impact continues to influence contemporary artists. Today, many artists draw inspiration from Cubist principles to create works that explore volumes, light and materials in even greater depth. Sculptural cubism is thus an art form in perpetual reinvention, where tradition and modernity meet.
