An analysis of the inspiration of cubist painting on contemporary graphic design

Abstract

Cubism is a movement and genre in the history of modern Western art and the most important movement in contemporary art. From Cézanne's three-dimensional vision to the practice of artists such as Picasso, the trend has been for everything to be three-dimensional. This was an exploration of so-called 'real' forms, symbolising a new way of being in a new era. There is an inseparable relationship between painting and design, which manifests itself in various forms in different fields of art.This paper contributes to an understanding of the historical background of Cubist painting, analyses and summarises the characteristics of Cubist painting, and interprets Cubist paintings by explaining the principles of Cubist composition in graphic design. It will also discuss the inspiration of Cubist painting for contemporary graphic design in terms of design forms, design methods and design styles, as evidenced by numerous works and examples.
