Cubism - split into two major phases

Cubism was split into two major phases
 - Analytical phase (1907-1912)
 - Synthetic phase (19012-1914)


ANALYTICAL PHASE

It is the initial phase ,where the artists were more concerned towards breaking the traditional models of representation i.e. abandoned perspective.They turned away realistic modelling of figures.Forms were analysed and fragmented .
It basically,revolved around the changing experience of space, time, movement in the modern world of art.


SYNTHETIC PHASE

During the second phase, artists began to explore the use of foreign objects as abstract signs. Newspapers and other materials like - wood veneer, chair canning, cardboard, corrugated sheet,wallpaper sheets are collaged to the surface of canvas as a sigh of object. It was influential style of art for the later artists (like - JUAN GRIS). Also the palette of the artists was no more confined to a limited number of colours.
