Cubism
• Cubism emerged as a form of painting that challenged all
of the values of the Victorian era.
• Cubism falls under the Modernist movement, which went
against the Victorian ideas about God and pushed aside
the previous notions that paintings should contain objects
that you did not really have to think much about in order
to interpret.
• Picasso's painting was shocking
even to his closest artist friends
both for its content and for its
formal experimentation.
• The subject matter of nude
women was not in itself
unusual, but the fact that
Picasso painted the women as
prostitutes in aggressively
sexual postures was novel.
BLAM (1962)

Oil on canvas - Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, CT
• This large canvas measures approximately 94
by 94 inches, derived from a photograph of a
swimming pool Hockney had seen in a pool
manual, Hockney was intrigued by the idea
that a painting might recapture a fleeting
event frozen in a photograph.
• The juxtaposition of old and new, especially with regards to taking styles from
past periods and re-fitting them into modern art outside of their original context, is
a common characteristic of postmodern art.
