Cubism is a truly revolutionary style of modern art developed by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque in the early 20th century. This avant-garde movement sought to break away from the traditional perspective and embrace a more abstract form.
Cubism is characterized by fragmented and geometric forms, providing multiple perspectives within a single plane. It focuses on challenging the norms: representing reality with simplified shapes, interlocking planes, and a restrained color palette.
