"Cubism is like standing at a certain point on a
mountain and looking around. If you go higher, things will look
different; if you go lower, again they will look different. It is a
point of view."
- Jacques Lipchitz
Cubism was a 20th century art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music and literature.
It developed as a short but highly significant art movement between
about 1907 and 1914 in France.
In cubist artworks, objects are broken
up, analyzed, and re-assembled in an abstracted form — instead of painting objects from one viewpoint, the artist paints the subject
from a variety of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater
context.
Often the surfaces intersect at seemingly random angles
presenting no coherent sense of depth. The background and object planes interact one another to create the ambiguous shallow space
characteristic of cubism.
