    • Following the trend of the nineteenth-century transcendentalism, the artists  believed that "true reality lay in the essential idea and not in its reflection  in the material world"
      (Colliers 546). The role of the artist was to create  symbolic forms for the essence of ideas, rather than initiate the short-lived  appearance of things. This attitude led to paintings based on the expressive  abilities of the artist, and the idea of creating expressive art, like music,  that didn't depend completely on the world in actuality.

    • The Cubist painters rejected the inherited concept that art should copy nature,  or that they should adopt the traditional techniques of perspective, modeling,  and foreshortening. They wanted instead to emphasize the two-dimensionality of  the canvas. So they reduced and fractured objects into geometric forms, and then  realigned these within a shallow, relieflike space. They also used multiple or  contrasting vantage points.

      In Cubist work up to 1910, the subject of a  picture was usually discernible. Although figures and objects were dissected or  "analyzed" into a multitude of small facets, these were then reassembled, after  a fashion, to evoke those same figures or objects. During "high" Analytic Cubism  (1910–12), also called "hermetic," Picasso and Braque so abstracted their works  that they were reduced to just a series of overlapping planes and facets mostly  in near-monochromatic browns, grays, or blacks. In their work from this period,  Picasso and Braque frequently combined representational motifs with letters (1999.363.63; 1999.363.11). Their favorite motifs were still  lifes with musical instruments, bottles, pitchers, glasses, newspapers, playing  cards (1997.149.12), and the human face and figure.  Landscapes were rare

      • This gives a great definition of Cubism and the ideas behind it.
