<P> The movement was pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, joined by Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes, Robert Delaunay, Henri Le Fauconnier, Fernand Léger and Juan Gris . One primary influence that led to Cubism was the representation of three - dimensional form in the late works of Paul Cézanne . A retrospective of Cézanne's paintings had been held at the Salon d'Automne of 1904, current works were displayed at the 1905 and 1906 Salon d'Automne, followed by two commemorative retrospectives after his death in 1907 . In Cubist artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form--instead of depicting objects from a single viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context . </P> <P> The impact of Cubism was far - reaching and wide - ranging . In other countries Futurism, Suprematism, Dada, Constructivism, De Stijl and Art Deco developed in response to Cubism . Early Futurist paintings hold in common with Cubism the fusing of the past and the present, the representation of different views of the subject pictured at the same time, also called multiple perspective, simultaneity or multiplicity, while Constructivism was influenced by Picasso's technique of constructing sculpture from separate elements . Other common threads between these disparate movements include the faceting or simplification of geometric forms, and the association of mechanization and modern life . </P> <P> Historians have divided the history of Cubism into phases . In one scheme, the first phase of Cubism, known as Analytic Cubism, a phrase coined by Juan Gris a posteriori, was both radical and influential as a short but highly significant art movement between 1910 and 1912 in France . A second phase, Synthetic Cubism, remained vital until around 1919, when the Surrealist movement gained popularity . English art historian Douglas Cooper proposed another scheme, describing three phases of Cubism in his book, The Cubist Epoch . According to Cooper there was "Early Cubism", (from 1906 to 1908) when the movement was initially developed in the studios of Picasso and Braque; the second phase being called "High Cubism", (from 1909 to 1914) during which time Juan Gris emerged as an important exponent (after 1911); and finally Cooper referred to "Late Cubism" (from 1914 to 1921) as the last phase of Cubism as a radical avant - garde movement . Douglas Cooper's restrictive use of these terms to distinguish the work of Braque, Picasso, Gris (from 1911) and Léger (to a lesser extent) implied an intentional value judgement . </P> <P> Cubism burgeoned between 1907 and 1911 . Pablo Picasso's 1907 painting Les Demoiselles d'Avignon has often been considered a proto - Cubist work . Georges Braque's 1908 Houses at L'Estaque (and related works) prompted the critic Louis Vauxcelles to refer to bizarreries cubiques (cubic oddities). Gertrude Stein referred to landscapes made by Picasso in 1909, such as Reservoir at Horta de Ebro, as the first Cubist paintings . The first organized group exhibition by Cubists took place at the Salon des Indépendants in Paris during the spring of 1911 in a room called' Salle 41'; it included works by Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes, Fernand Léger, Robert Delaunay and Henri Le Fauconnier, yet no works by Picasso or Braque were exhibited . </P>
