Although Picasso and Braque’s collaboration initiated Cubism, it was also adopted and developed further by several other painters, including Fernand Léger (1881–1955), Juan Gris (1887–1927), Albert Gleizes (1881–1953) and Jean Metzinger (1883–1956). Cubist subjects were mainly objective, regularly featuring still lifes and portraits. Still lifes often included musical instruments, bottles, pitchers, newspapers and playing cards. For the first couple of years, Cubism was mainly practiced by painters, but by about 1910, sculptors began producing Cubist works that needed to be viewed from all sides to understand the whole thing. The major Cubist sculptors were Alexander Archipenko (1887–1964), Raymond Duchamp-Villon (1887–1968) and Jacques Lipchitz (1891–1973).

Orphism

Guillaume Apollinaire (1880–1918) used the expression Orphism or Orphic Cubism to describe the work of Robert Delaunay (1885–1941) and his wife Sonia (1885–1979). The name came from the legendary ancient Greek poet and musician Orpheus and implied that painting should be like music: harmonious and abstract. Contrasting with Cubism’s mainly earthy colors, Orphism featured bright hues that exploited color theories. The style originated with Cubism but it also expressed movement and light, emulating how our eyes work.
