IN MODERN ART  \nCubism  \n216  \n# CUBISM\n\nThe title 'Cubist'first began to beapplied to the paintings of Braqueand Picasso in the first decade of thiscentury.It is a misleading title,for,as this selection of Cubist paintingsshows,cubes are only one device usedby this important school of artists inan attempt to break up objects intotheir basic components.These pictures,and the introductory essay on theschool as a whole,are shown as asignificant reflection of the break-upof traditional attitudes which hasoccured during the last fifty years.  \nna  \n# MOVEMENTS IN MODERN

\n# CUBISM\n\nOne day,long after the birth of Cubism,Picasso and the art dealerDaniel Henry Kahnweiler were searching their memories for the yearin which it took place.They remembered that between April andMay 1907 Picasso had begun to paint a canvas,about 8 foot square,which was subsequently known as “Les Demoiselles d'Avignon”andwhich now hangs in the Museum of Modern Art in New York.Thispicture may indeed be considered to have been the point of departureof a new phase in painting,called Cubism.  \nThe origin of the term is uncertain.It is said that Henri Matisse,the initiator of another artistic movement,Fauvism,while a member ofthe jury at the Paris Salon of 1908,remarked in front of Georges Braque'spaintings:“Trop de cubes!”(Too many cubes).On the other handit was the art critic L.Vauxcelles who,in his review of a Braqueexhibition at Kahnweiler's,talked of“petits cubes\"and later of \"bizarreriescubes”.This was but a superficial description of the pictures,for itwas not the painter's intention to transform reality,as it were by astroke of the brush,into so many erratic blocks.But as so often happensin the history of art,a half-mocking,half-critical renmark was taken up,used as a label and henceforth attached to a new direction in style.Soon the painters Picasso,Braque,Fernand Leger and a litle laterJuan Gris,issuing from many different parts of the world and variousschools of art,joined forces in Paris and,recognizing their common aim,professed themselves members of the “Cubist family”.GuillaumeApollinaire,the poet and spokesman of the group,in his preface tothe first foreign Cubist exhibition at Brussels in 1911,finally put theofficial seal on this expression.  \nThe landscape of Estaque painted by Braque on the shores of theMediterranean in 1908,which is reproduced on plate 1 of this volume,gives some idea of the manner of Braque and Picasso in the years ofthe “Demoiselles d'Avignon”.These pictures broke away violentlyfrom the artistic conception of the Fauves,the“wild beasts”who,since 1905,had been considered the dernier cri in the art of the metropolis.  \nEvery artistic movement of our time has begun by renouncing itspredecessor.Naturally the artists had studied the work of their somewhatolder colleagues with a careful and critical eye.The platform reached  \nby their predecessors served them as a jumping-board.For severalyears Braque had fallen in with the Fauves and,at the age of 22,finishedhis apprenticeship with them.Although at the turn of the centuryartists and groups of artists worked in far greater isolation from oneanother than they do today,and were by no means always knownto each other or inclined to form a “clique”—Kahnweiler,the artdealer of the Cubists,at that time knew neither Vuillard nor Bonnard,nor Lautrec,and of that generation only Redon—yet communicationestablished itself between them in some mysterious way.Picasso had al-ready passed through several periods:an Impressionist,alyrical,a Lautrec-period,and a period of Weltschmerz.By determining his own
