cubism
Angular art movement
Cubism is an early 20th-century art movement that broke objects into geometric shapes and showed multiple perspectives simultaneously.
The style, pioneered by Picasso and Braque, rejected traditional representation in favor of fragmented, angular forms: The painting's cubism made the guitar look like shattered glass. (Capitalized Cubism refers to the specific art movement.)
