Picasso and Braque’s favourite motifs during the period of Cubism were still lifes with musical instruments, bottles, pitchers, glasses, newspapers, playing cards, the human face and the human figure. Cubism was the most revolutionary and influential movement of the twentieth century. This inclusion of real objects in art was the beginning of one of the important ideas in modern art, to work with already existing (readymade) objects. Synthetic cubism began when cubist artists started using textures and patterns in their paintings and experimenting with the collage form. Synthetic cubism art is the later phase of cubism, dating from around 1912 to 1914, and characterised by simpler shapes and brighter colours. This simplified palette was chosen so as not to distract the viewer from the structure of the form and the density of the image at the centre of the canvas. The artworks look severe, and are made up of an interweaving of planes and lines in muted tones of blacks, greys and ochres. Neo-Cubism retains Cubism’s multifaceted perspective while injecting the modernism, abstraction, abstract expressionism, and post-modernism that was borne from Cubism. Analytical cubism art is considered to run from 1908-1912. Neo-Cubism describes a revived form of Cubism, the highly influential art movement which began around 1907 and popularized by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. Cubism developed in two distinct phases: analytical cubism and (later) synthetic cubism.
