What is "cubism"?
Cubism was an art movement that started in the early 20th century, mainly in France. It was developed by artists such as Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. Cubism focused on breaking down objects into geometric shapes and showing them from multiple angles at the same time, rather than from just one viewpoint. This approach aimed to represent the complex nature of reality by showing different angles and aspects of an object at once. Artists used broken forms and muted colors to create a sense of dimension and structure. The goal was to challenge traditional views of art and offer a new way of seeing and understanding the world.
