Often using objects or figures for inspiration, Picasso and Brague worked tirelessly to shape their movement. They worked together through abstract and fragmented shapes and images. They also used collage on their canvases which really defined them as cutting edge artists of the period. They wanted to present a new way of seeing and expressing themselves that also reflected the world around them as they saw it. It is said that the two were inseparable as they worked to develop Cubism and establish their shared vision. He was undoubtedly an artistic genius founding Cubism, inventing collage and laying the path for symbolism and surrealism. Picasso became friends with another important artist for Cubism, called George Braque. Pablo Ruiz Picasso was one of the most dominant young artists in the early twentieth century. These forms are what inspired the name Cubism as sometimes the forms would resemble small cubes. Often the artworks presented their new vision in geometric shapes or forms that were given depth and texture.
