Summary of the Lecture
“Cubism as Fashion Art”
The lecture focuses on a controversy associated with cubism: Is it “skillful art” or
“fashion art”?
1.All art movements begin as new ideas represented as clearly as possible; novelty is a key element in art.
- Great art must also be skillful; otherwise it is just an invention, like a new machine.
- Good art has always been a balance of skill and novelty.
2.Fashion art is a new idea.
- Artists create it because they want something new that will sell.
- In fashion art, novelty is more important than skill; balance is gone.
- Fashion art attracts buyers only because it is different; it is not usually skillful.
- Fashion art stimulates even more fashion art because newness wears off quickly.
- When the public realizes the lack of skill in fashion art, the demand for new novelty produces new art just to satisfy the demand.
3.The professor hypothesizes that various forms of cubism, particularly synthetic cubism and construction, are fashion art.
- Portrait of Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler is an excellent example of analytic cubism.
- Picasso paints objects and spaces into interlocking shapes and cubes and merges the figure with the background.
- The perspective is flat; there is minimal color, but the canvas shimmers.
- The painting is not completely abstract because the form of the subject is suggested, but the concept is more important than reality.
- The painting demonstrates both novelty and skill.
4.Picasso’s Woman’s Head applies the breaking up of shapes and space to sculpture.
- It transfers ideas from a flat canvas to a three-dimensional object.
- It demonstrates skill, so it is not fashion art.
5.Picasso developed synthetic cubism, which the professor considers fashion art.
- Picasso is experimenting for the sake of novelty and to generate sales.
- He is not trying to increase expression or move art
