Cubism
Angular art movement
Cubism is the revolutionary art movement founded around 1907 by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque in Paris.
It abandoned single-point perspective, instead depicting subjects from multiple viewpoints at once through fragmented geometric planes.
Cubism profoundly influenced 20th-century art, architecture, and design: Cubism challenged everything artists thought they knew about representation. (Lowercase cubism describes the style generally.)
