PABLO PICASSOS
panish, 1881-1973

Cubism (立体派) became the most influential (有影响的) style of art during the first half of the 20th century. Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque(1), under the influence of Cézanne(2), developed this new style as an exploration of the visual properties (属性) of form. The Cubists also explored the notion (观念) of multiple (多样的) viewpoints, depicting (描述) people and objects from several angles within the same painting. Picasso has reduced this composition组成 to flattened (变平的) planes and a somber (忧郁的) color scheme (策划), emphasizing the two - dimensionality (维数) of the canvas.
