and flattened spaces displayed in geometric terms. Picasso’s “Self Portrait” is an example of an artwork done in the beginning of cubism and is a good representation of what other pieces were like during that period. Cubism then progressed into “Analytical Cubism” and then “Synthetic Cubism.” Analytical cubism involved removing bright colors from Picasso and Braque’s paintings so the primary focus is on the structure, opposed to the distracting paint shades. The idea of not being limited by viewpoints was applied to this period. Therefore Picasso and Braque began developing pictures which incorporated an object being viewed from several different viewpoints or angles. Synthetic cubism consisted of larger and more representational forms along with flat and bright patterns. Throughout the synthetic period Picasso and Braque would experiment sporadically by incorporating real inanimate objects, such as actual pieces of oilcloths, newspaper print, or postage stamps onto the canvas. During the 1930s Picasso was admired as a distinguished artist and was lucky enough to achieve success during his lifetime. His paintings were now militant and political, especially due to the fact of World War I and the Spanish civil war. He also became connected to the Surrealist movement, but refused to study this type of art in any formal institutions. Following World War II, Picasso’s paintings made a switch from political to gentle. Picasso spent the last years of his life concentrating on drawing, and ended up finishing 347 sketches. In spite of health complications Picasso created a number of paintings in his final years. He died on April 8, 1973, at the age of 91.
