There are two types of Cubism:analyticalandsynthetic.
Analytical Cubism is the first type of cubism. Most analytical Cubists painted and drew in monochrome (only one colour – grey, blue and ochre). The person who was looking at the painting did not pay attention to colour, but only to the shapes and the forms. Analytic cubists focused on forms like thecylinder,sphereand theconeto represent the natural world. During this movement, the works produced by Picasso and Braque were quite similar.
This was changed in 1912 when Picasso first started painting with colours and using collages. Collage is when you glue together different cut-up pieces of paper to make an artwork. This new form of Cubism was called Synthetic Cubism. It was developed by Picasso, Braque,Juan Grisand others between 1912 and 1919. Synthetic cubism is characterized by using differenttextures,surfaces,collageelements. Colour was used.
Picasso invented collage because he wanted to try out something new. Pablo Picasso created over 20,000 pictures. From 1912 to 1919 was Picasso's Synthetic Cubism Period.

Choose the correct word:
Picasso and Braque only showed their artworks privately-owned galleries. Because of this, they are called the Gallery Cubists.
Soon, there was a group of painters who showed their artworks in public galleries called Salons. This group of painters were called the Salon Cubists. These artists were interested in mathematical and philosophical ideas that were new at the time.
Many critics now think that the work of the Gallery Cubists is better than that of the Salon Cubists, but some disagree. However, most people agree that the Gallery Cubists had a bigger influence overall and moreimpact on the rest of 20th century art than the Salon Cubists.
At the time, very few people knew about the Gallery Cubists because they were so secretive and private, but everyone knew about the Salon Cubists. Some of the Salon Cubists include:
Henri Le Fauconnier, Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes, Robert Delaunay, Fernand Leger
