cubists
Fragmented perspective artists
Cubists are artists who practice cubism, the early 20th-century movement that fragments subjects into geometric forms and shows multiple perspectives simultaneously.
Picasso and Braque were the pioneering cubists.
The term extends to anyone working in this angular, abstracted style: The cubists revolutionized how we think about representing three-dimensional space on a flat surface.
