The great Cubist pictures were meditations on the intrinsic character of the detached Cézannesque facets and contours, out of which the almost-illegible images were built. If Analytical Cubism, as this phase is generally labeled, analyzed anything, it was the nature of the treatment. The essence of the picture was in the treatment.
It was no longer necessary to travel in search of a motif any still life would do as well. In the second phase, from 1910 to 1912, the irrelevance of the subject, in any integral form, became evident. In the next two years Braque went to paint at Cézanne’s old sites, and the inspiration of Cézanne’s style at this stage is indubitable. In the first phase, lasting into 1909, the focus of their work was the accentuation and disruption of planes. Braque, on the other hand, became more and more closely associated with Picasso, and Cubism, as the new style was labeled by one of Braque’s hostile critics in the following year, was the result of their collaboration. Subsequently, however, Matisse turned back toward relatively traditional forms and the flooding colour that chiefly concerned him. Matisse and Georges Braque, who, unlike Picasso, had been experimenting with Fauvism, immediately started painting female nudes of similar stridency. Nevertheless, the effect on his associates was profound. “What a loss to French art!” a Russian collector said, and Picasso himself was not sure what to think of the picture it was not reproduced for 15 years or publicly exhibited for 30. Those who saw it were astonished and perplexed, not only by the arbitrary disruption in the right-hand part of the picture of the continuity that had always united an image but also by the defiant unloveliness, which made it plain that the traditional beauties of art, the appeal of the subject, and the credibility of its imitation were now, at any rate to Picasso, finally irrelevant. Picasso’s Primitivism, joined to the influence of Cézanne’s Large Bathers, culminated in 1907 in the enigmatic and famous picture Les Demoiselles d’Avignon.
