analytic cubism was jointly developed by pablo picasso and georges braque, exemplified by "violin and candlestick, paris," from about 1908 through 1912. analytic cubism, the first clear manifestation of cubism, was followed by synthetic cubism, practised by braque, picasso, fernand léger, juan gris, albert gleizes, marcel duchamp and several other artists into the 1920s. synthetic cubism is characterized by the introduction of different textures, surfaces, collage elements, papier collé and a large variety of merged subject matter.
