<P> Historians have divided the history of Cubism into phases . In one scheme , the first phase of Cubism , known as Analytic Cubism , a phrase coined by Juan Gris a posteriori , was both radical and influential as a short but highly significant art movement between 1910 and 1912 in France . A second phase , Synthetic Cubism , remained vital until around 1919 , when the Surrealist movement gained popularity . English art historian Douglas Cooper proposed another scheme , describing three phases of Cubism in his book , The Cubist Epoch . According to Cooper there was `` Early Cubism '' , ( from 1906 to 1908 ) when the movement was initially developed in the studios of Picasso and Braque ; the second phase being called `` High Cubism '' , ( from 1909 to 1914 ) during which time Juan Gris emerged as an important exponent ( after 1911 ) ; and finally Cooper referred to `` Late Cubism '' ( from 1914 to 1921 ) as the last phase of Cubism as a radical avant - garde movement . Douglas Cooper 's restrictive use of these terms to distinguish the work of Braque , Picasso , Gris ( from 1911 ) and Léger ( to a lesser extent ) implied an intentional value judgement . </P>
