These fragments of Cubist art assemble the span of cubism into a whole. The timeline shows only the paintings of Braque, Picasso, and Gris, the three artists who made sustained contributions to Cubism.
Two of those artists, Braque and Picasso, were the creators of Cubism; Juan Gris was their most astute pupil, and, as the timeline demonstrates visually, he was a notable partner with Picasso's Cubism after 1912. The timeline includes pop-ups guiding the viewer to information on the specific paintings.
Cubist motifs were the "quotidien": faces of people, table tops, fruit, guitars, newspapers, typography, pipes, violins, posters, selzer, grapes, pears, bottles, anisette, pernod, banyuls, chair caning, wallpaper, wood grain, accordions, cafes, muscial instruments, sheet music, playing cards, harlequins.
