Modernism · c. 1907–1920

Fragmented perspective

Picasso and Braque shattered the single viewpoint that had governed Western painting since the Renaissance, depicting objects simultaneously from multiple angles. The fragmented, geometric planes of Cubism rejected the illusion of three-dimensional space in favour of a new pictorial logic. It was the most radical visual revolution of the 20th century and the foundation of modern abstraction.

"This exhibition is an egregious case of "have your cake and eat it". Tate is happy to use Picasso's name to pull in the punters. At the same time, it holds its nose, by implying he's beyond the pale. Is there a glimmer of positivity about any of the manifestly gorgeous and skilful artworks on display? If you find one, let me know."
