Cubism, the new and the old one, Macedonian, connected in the art of Žarko Jakimovski
Cubism is one of the most influential movements in 20th-century art. This revolutionary new approach or treatment of visual reality was developed by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque in the first decade of the century. It was based on the view of the post-Impressionist Paul Cézanne (1839-1906) that any object could be represented artistically through basic geometric forms. The term Cubism comes from the word cube, that is, from the comment of the art historian Louis Vauxcelles who, looking at Georges Braque’s paintings in 1908, concluded that everything there was reduced to geometric outlines, to cubes.

How to invest in art wisely?
We will begin this text with an illustrative example. When in 1989 the 29-year-old stockbroker Robert Tibbles bought the recently graduated artist Damien Hirst’s work “The Body“, which consisted of a medicine cabinet, for £600, his colleagues and friends who bought cars and expensive watches mocked him, assuring him that he had been robbed and should return the artwork, i.e. ask for his money back. But Tibbles stayed true to his instincts. In 2020, he sold the work, “The Body“, at auction for £1.2 million.
