Cubism

The foundations of Cubism are based on Paul Cézanne's view that visible reality can be reduced to the geometric shapes of cube, cone and sphere. In Cubism, painters began to systematically dissect the pictorial space, represented bodies and objects in order to create a simultaneous multi-view of the pictorial objects. The individual forms were broken up and could be separated from each other or reassembled. With this style, the avant-garde movement revolted against everything that had previously been significant in Western art.
