RESUMO:

The transition from the late nineteenth century to the early twentieth century was marked by profound changes in science and art. We highlight the emergence of the theory of relativity and cubism, themes of our interest. The two theories are fruits of the same time and were immersed in the circulations of ideas of this period of intense transformations. We will discuss the cultural environment that gave rise to relativity and Cubism. The contextualization of these historical and cultural aspects allows us to find links between the two theories. We highlight here, Poincaré as a central character of this story. The mathematician's ideas were of paramount importance for the two men in the construction of their works. Relativity and cubism are apexes of movements that have caused ruptures of previously dominant worldviews. It was a break from the classic world. The present work has as main objective to investigate how the cultural and intellectual environment influenced both restricted relativity and cubism in the construction of new notions of space and time. The connections between modern physics and modern art can be thought of as the need to investigate new forms of representation of reality more fundamental than apparent reality. In art, we have cubism that emerges with new concepts of representation in the pictorial space, is an avant-garde artistic movement that emerged in Paris in the first decade of the twentieth century and which had as one of the main exponents in the plastic arts the Spanish Pablo Picasso. In physics, the theory of relativity proposed by Albert Einstein came about by modifying concepts that lasted for more than 200 years maintained by Classical Mechanics and offered us a new way of seeing the world. There is no doubt that both the theory of relativity and cubism made it possible to open new gaps in the constitution of reality, in the human quest to try to understand the world and the place we occupy in it.
