Cubism & the Cubist Movement
Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque...
One of these first developments was Purism, created by Amedee Ozanfont and Charles Edouard Jeanneret. The Purists created still life's which were limited, objects which were similar to those used by the Montmarte cubists and a colouration compared to early Cubism. The purist movement could not replace cubism and was short lived. Another movement that could not live up to the expectations of that of cubism was the Dada movement. Formed in Zurich in 1915 but established in 1920 by the poet Tristan Tzara.
The Dada movement was anarchic, a reaction to the war feed on social outcasts and hypocrites making its own war with paint on canvas. The Dadaist's soon turned on the Cubists for being socially detached, a member of the movement Francis Picabia claimed that they had 'cubed everything', 'cubed shit and profiles of young girls', and that it only remained necessary for them to 'cube money'. After the Dada movement split up the remaining artists moved into Surrealism formed by Andre Breton. Surrealism was maybe the next major art movement to follow from Cubism and was to do something that Cubism hadn't, to bridge the gap between artist's and society which, Cubist's didn't and maybe this was their downfall.
