So, What is Cubist Art?

Definitions to hold onto;

Cubism: Is a style of painting that developed primarily through the art of Picasso and Braque during the period of 1907 - 1913 and evolved into multimedia (or collage) pieces during 1910-1928. Many others have followed these new principles and the style has influenced modern art since that time.

The style is characterized by:

• Use Geometric shapes and forms.
• Fragmentation and layering of the subject
• Restricted use of colour; many are very monotone.
• Lack of perspective . They do not have a foreground and a background .Rather than looking into the picture, the subject seems to spill out of the frame.
