Cubism: Changing the Course of Art for the 20th Century
Cubism is a form of art that was created, mainly, by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque in Paris between 1907 and 1914. The style emphasizes a flat, two-dimensional plane, contradictory to the techniques of perspective and foreshortening. The main distinguishing characteristic between cubism and other styles such as impressionism is that cubism does portray nature in art. Cubist painters are not limited to painting a certain color, or form, or a certain texture. Cubism broke objects down into basic shapes of cubes, spheres, cylinders, and cones. "The artists took it to themselves to show things as they are, not how the look."
