Cubism: Who Said Mathematics Wasn't Art?

It is the origin of all the avant-gardes of the twentieth century and the truth is that it is from its appearance that it stopped speaking in lesser terms to officially declare the break with the previous artistic cycle. It is a purely analytical style that is baptized as Cubism due to the continuous use of cubes to represent anything and any work. Multiple perspective is the fundamental resource of this new artistic era. All the parts and faces of the objects are represented simultaneously, that is, everything that is known about it is shown on the same plane. This scientific and technical aspect is very interesting because it works with art from a totally experimental perspective and that somehow opens the door to a parallel universe and a new conception of art.

And it is that this perspective is still valid in many designs, that is the irrefutable proof of its quality. Despite the time that has elapsed, their records and contributions continue to be a trend in all types of proposals. We can find remains of Picasso, Blanchard, Braque or Gris in any type of work: Sculptures, cinema, advertising posters ... And is that we as designers, how can we use these great contributions in plastic, aesthetic and artistic terms? In successive posts I would like to share with you resources that will surely be of great use to you and in passing review this great movement that marked a before and after in the history of art.
