Cubism pdf download

Skirts were narrow at the hem called Hobble Skirts. Evening dresses used layers of sheer fabric with gold and silver embroidery, lace, beads and fringes placed over heavier fabrics. One piece dresses were preferred. Skirts were shorter with easy fit bodice. Skirts use pleating, gathering or gores to achieve fullness. Androgynous, boyish look was in fashion, giving the entire silhouette a linear, straight, geometric look, imitating the cubists painting styles.

Supply of fabric was limited due to war effect so silhouette became narrower. The Chemise dress straight tube designed by Jean Lanvin was popular. Newer fabrics became available like flannel, art silk or rayon, flamingo-silk and wool mixed crepe look, satin double faced etc. Nylon and other synthetics gained popularity coinciding with synthetic Cubism. This was done to find if the associations between different art forms after observing similar connections can be translated into a new visual expression.

Phase 2: Analysis of Data Collected data was analyzed in this phase to compare Cubism and Fashion to establish similar influences to achieve third objective. Results were discussed under different categories. These results are discussed under the broad headings of Silhouette, Colour, Texture, and Techniques used for Costumes during Cubism which are influenced by Paintings done during this modern art era.

This calculated value lies in the critical region hence we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternate hypothesis that the proportion of agree is more than the proportion of disagree. Thus, proving that the silhouette of costume changed according to changes in paintings during Cubism. Thus, proving that colours in paintings influence the colours in costume and change according to changes in colour palette of paintings during different phases of Cubism.

Kauvery Bai world. Thus, proving that invention of new texture and innovation of self-texture coincided with similar innovations in paintings during Cubism art movement. Thus, proving that new techniques in garment construction coincided with development of new techniques in paintings.

New techniques of garment construction and New techniques in paintings like Collage, 9 embellishments like Bias cut, applique, cording, Assemblage, Perspective drawing, muted pleating, Tassels etc.

Silhouttes: Outer shape of the garment changed according to changes in lines and shapes of Cubists paintings. As Cubists dismantled objects and reassembled them in paintings, fashion had a similar influence leading to deconstruction of a single garment into various components forming several layers in a single garment.

Curved silhouette of early cubism resembled curved lines of Cubist paintings. Geometric forms in silhouettes like Lampshade tunics, Minerate tunic, narrow rectangular skirts with square jackets were all results of geometric forms dominating paintings during Cubism era.

Complex silhouette with layers of sheer fabric added for light and 3-dimensional effect resembled simultaneous perspective of 3 dimensional forms practiced during Cubism. Colour: Colours in garments were influenced by dominant colour palette of paintings during this time. Monochromes dominated fashion during to This trend in colours was influenced by evenly distributed earthy tones or monochromes with light and dark tones in paintings.

Prominent Blue, Pink and Beige colours in costumes were influenced by similar Blue and Rose periods in paintings during early Cubism. Bright new colours costumes were seen during synthetic cubism, this was found to be similar in brighter shades of colours used in paintings and invention of new synthetic pigments.

Texture: Fabrics used for making garments changed during Cubism. Newer fabrics like Rayon, Nylon, mix of silk and wool etc were developed coinciding with the inventions in newer synthetic pigments. Textures were also added to the surface of the garment in the form of beads, pin tuck, laces, and different fabrics. This technique resembled the process of adding found objects, papers, letters etc on the surface of paintings. Technique: Newer techniques were developed in garment construction which changed the way a garment was stitched.

These techniques included Bias cut, Applique work, Cording, Fringing etc. Several different techniques were also developed in paintings which revolutionized the painting world. It can show different types of personalities like powerful, flirty, casual, artistic, serious etc through various outfits. Clothes are different experiences felt by the wearer and art is one of the important elements responsible for giving this experience.

Paintings are considered as timeless art which are appreciated and popularized if you relate them to garments. Every art movement brings new changes which are perceived in all art forms. This study was carried out to explore the influence of paintings during Cubism art movement on costumes of the same era. This was done to find if all art forms are interrelated or do they influence or inspire each other to create new visual expression giving birth to a new art form.

The researcher collected data on paintings during cubism, history of cubism art movement and costumes worn www. Kauvery Bai during this period from various books, magazines, research papers, e- magazines etc.

Key points of Cubism and key silhouettes worn during the same period were compared and analyzed to find similarities between these two art forms. This was further validated with the help of opinionnaire given to the experts in the field of art and fashion and results were tabulated in the form of graphs.

Costumes were assessed for four parameters like colour, silhouettes, texture and techniques to find similarities with paintings. The researcher found a positive co-relation between paintings and garments. Silhouettes, colours, texture and embellishments and technique of garment construction were influenced by the parallel development in paintings. These influences can be further incorporated in garments for contemporary wear using Indian fabrics like Khadi, creating innovative fashion which combines sensibilities of Avant garde modern art movement with heritage fabrics.

Fashion reflects current art movement which affects our thought process, acting as a mirror between two art forms. Kifah Q. Saleh, M. Hashim, D. Exploring similarities of Gothic architecture and costume to develop designs using Gothic features By Vaishali S Menon. New York, private collection. I will also suggest how Cubism may have been influenced by and influential during the industrial Revolution.

I will show how this affected their design and conclude by referring all this back to where we are today and how it affected who we are as a global culture. Cubism developed out of the need for something new. According to Hughes, more specifically it evolved out of the acceptance of what we are as imperfect creatures and the acceptance that what we perceive as reality, from one perspective is very far from what can be considered reality.

Furthermore, the development and eagerness to learn more about new and different things and to broaden our horizons by going off at a tangent, for want of a better word, is probably the best way that I can concisely describe the development of Cubism Cubism was extremely influential in the development of what we now perceive as the process of Modernity; revolutionary for art at the time.

According to Gay, industrialisation brought about the desire to do something different And the cubists were opening up new ideas in not only the way we see things physically, but the way we perceive reality as a whole. This is mainly what the cubist tried to condense into a single moment, in the form of Cubist Art Hughes Cubism was strongly influenced by the industrial revolution and the massive shift of consciousness at the time, to step progress up into a higher gear.

Tucker expresses how it was the development of photography during these times that helped prompt Picasso into his Cubist Ways The Summer before Picasso really took Cubist direction, he took photographs of a village that he also painted. Ironically enough, as cubism tries to stray away from such single point of view, if anyone were to look at the photographs and the abstract paintings, they would be forced to see that they were almost identical Tucker The ability to make unclear, a sense of space, and distort the relationships between light and dark and even how texture can be reduced in the efforts to get across the image as a whole.

It is clear that Picasso enjoyed these characteristics of early photography, as we can see if we look comparatively between Figure 1 and Figure 2. Coke looked at the photograph and painting and described Picassos painting of the photograph, saying that Picasso willingly let the camera dictate his painting.

Figure 1 Picasso, Portrait of Renoir, Figure 2 Anonymous photographer, Auguste Renoir, n. Whereabouts unknown photo: New York Public Library According to Cubism may have led the way for new art movements, and have been a revolutionary leader in this sense, contributing to many different facets of what we now consider Modern Art, we cannot look at his work without realising how strongly it was influenced by industrialisation.

We can observe how his abstract, take on a very geometric and Machine made feel as if a Robot had carved it from steel. The perspective is constantly morphing, as does our perspective on anything over any short amount of time, no matter how short.

Hughes talks of how cubism tries to show a moment, from many perspectives But it is given to us in a single Image. This was the essence of Cubism. As if it were a solid object that one could hold. Hughes speaks of how no one could paint like Picasso in the way that he would take reality, from many perspectives, and through true understanding of reality and the way perceptions are constantly changing, break down this reality into its rudimentary forms, making his image feel real once again When one looks at his images, you can feel the shape and weight of the objects, as if they were real sculptures infront of you, despite the fact that it is a journey towards an abstract reality.

While some would say that it is further from reality, it could also be argued that it is closer to realising reality than humanity had gotten thus far or at the very least, a deeper plane of perceiving reality, not as what it seems to be, but rather as it is as a whole Pavlopoulos sp.

But from a perspective we cannot ever completely comprehend while we hold onto closed minded views of reality. Picasso was realising these revolutionary ideas onto canvas. As if he was already conceptualising the 4th dimension and taking a snapshot or a 2D cross-section of this 4D perspective.

This was the trend of humanity at the time, progress in general: in technological improvements, and in art movements and in general thought and level of consciousness. Figure 3 Picasso, The Reservoir, summer These progressive and bold trends definitely carried through into the work of the Cubists.

The artwork is done ambiguously, but confidently so. One could also go into the more obvious comparisons between Cubism and the Industrial revolution. The way pieces of the image jut off like exhaust pipes. One could compare the hard smooth planes to the panels of a car, one of the most iconic and representative things to come out of modernity, while embodying everything modernity stood for.
