Cubism


  


Cubism was created by two artists, Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) and Georges Braque (1882-1963) at the beginning of the 20th century. These two artists working in France (Picasso was Spanish, Braque was French) developed cubism as a reaction to Impressionist painting. In Cubism the artist tries to illustrate the idea of an object or composition - showing multiple views at the same time - rather than just a single view as in traditional painting.
