Picasso immediately begins to create collage with oil cloth as well-and adds other elements to the mix (but remember, it was really Braque who introduced collage-he never gets enough credit). CollageĪs you might expect, Picasso was not far behind Braque. With this collage, Braque changed the direction of art for the next ninety years. Instead, he cut the oil cloth and pasted a piece of the factory-printed grain pattern right into his drawing. That particular pattern drew his attention because he was at work on a Cubist drawing of a guitar, and he was about to render the grain of the wood in pencil. Then, as now, these materials come in a variety of pre-printed patterns.īraque purchased some oil cloth printed with a fake wood grain. Oil cloth is an early version of contact paper, the vinyl adhesive used to line the shelves or drawers in a cupboard.
During his time there, he wanders into a hardware store, and there he finds a roll of oil cloth. But then during the summer of 1912, Braque leaves Paris to take a holiday in Provence. Since it is dominated by the analysis of form, this first stage is usually referred to as Analytic Cubism.
Beginning in 1908, and continuing through the first few months of 1912, Braque and Picasso co-invent the first phase of Cubism.
