Cubism is a style and art movement in which the perspective with a single viewpoint was deserted and the use of simple geometric shapes, interlocking planes, and collages were brought into play. Cubism has been considered one of the most influential art movements of the 20th century. A few artists that are associated with this movement include, Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Jaun Gris, Fernand Leger, Robert Delaunay, and Paul Cezanne.
Though I respect and applaud the artists’ for the creativity and uniqueness in their artworks, I do not like their cubism pieces. In my opinion, cubism is ugly and too geometrical for my taste. The conceptual shapes, the hard outlines, and the dark colors used in cubism are things that I don’t enjoy looking at in a piece of artwork. With cubism I feel like I don’t understand what is going on in a piece or I don’t understand the concept of what they are trying to portray and that bothers me. When I look at a piece of artwork I don’t want to feel like I’m constantly trying to figure out what is going on, I want the piece to feel warm and inviting and something I can relate to but with cubism I just don’t get any of that.

You have hit the mark. It seems to me it is very excellent thought. Completely with you I will agree.

As an artist who just so happens to paint cubism, I can say that my artworks aren’t like this at all. They are extremely colorful, and use reds, blues, and all sorts of colors.
They are also nowhere near as harsh or even geometrical as the ones you listed.
I have to admit, it is extremely jarring and confusing being able to tell exactly what the ‘difference’ between analytical cubism and synthetic cubism–honestly I don’t even think the historians know, other than their time periods. They both look the same in google search. XD
I combine my cubism with simplistic shapes, like circles, almond eyes, round noses, etc. And focus on a close up of the face and body from the shoulders up, giving a more intimate visual, so the viewers only focus on primarily the face.
I also combine my cubism with expressionism, and colors are the most important thing for me.
In other words, cubism isn’t dead, nor is it something that should be forgotten as redundant and unpretty; art is pretty much what you do with the brush, and I’ve seen many people turn cubism into pop-art rather than what we had in the past.
Speaking of the past, Picasso’s artwork is actually very colorful, and I can post several of his works that look way prettier and vibrant than what you have here, these are just the analytical early variants that was still trying to discover how cubism could be explored. In Picasso’s later years, he began to relax drastically with how he painted, and his cubism became more free formed, focusing on portraits and faces, he used more colors, and moved away from what you consider to be dull and unappealing. Even the Les Demoiselles work here is one of his incredibly early works; I’d go as far as to even say it was one of his first cubism paintings he experimented with having come from being inspired by Africa and the continent’s art and masks.
