Talk:Analytic cubism

Suggest deleting the following text from this article:

"The time period was from about 1907-1912. They had gotten the idea from George Cezanne, who said to treat nature as if it were basic shapes. Braque was the main analytic cubist, but Picasso was also prominent. The main concept of analytic cubism was to analyze the object, hence the name analytic, and then to make them into basic geometric shapes. These shapes were used to represent the natural world. By the name, a person would think it was cubes, but it’s more breaking the 3 dimensional objects up into other shapes. The paintings depict the object from many different perspectives because of this. There wasn’t much emphasize on color, the paintings consisting of primarily simple, monotone colors, like gray and blue." Rncooper 22:22, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

I think that most of the information is useful and accurate, but it does need to be brought up to formal standards. Bgreaves 02:24, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

cubism
I just don't think the importance of analytic cubism is coming across here. By such insistent and dramatic fracturing of the subject, the painting stops being an image of something; it is something. It's a new object in it's own right. This analytical process is painfully honest and since it's conception all art is measured from it and beside it. Vapona 01:43, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
