Cubism

The Cubist Period began in the twentieth century with artists Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. The cubist style emphasizes two dimensions, completely rejecting all techniques of perspective and chiaroscuro. Cubist artists didn’t care much about space or form. Instead, they showed multiple sides and forms of an object at once. Cubist artworks usually show letters, human faces, instruments, and human nature.

David Hockney is most famously a British painter and photographer. He has photographed, painted, designed, and been a printmaker. He is known now as the greatest British artist of his generation. David Hockney's bright and witty personality has influenced his work. His work is Cubist because of his flat and two-dimensional style. The Cubist period influenced his work because, like Picasso, Hockney sometimes shows all dimensions/sides of a single object.
