George Braque and Pablo Picasso developed cubism literally side by side, often painting in close proximity in the years 1909-1914. Built off of previous artistic movements which drew away from strict representation like expressionism and fauvism, Braque and Picasso built cubism on a structure of more monochromatic colors and geometric shapes. These approaches made their painting even less representational than previous abstract movements, while also needing more artistic and technical skill to create their works.
