1. Cubism was a revolutionary style of modern art developed by Pablo Picasso and George Braque in the early 20th century. 2. The two artists aimed to express inner experiences and depict objects from multiple viewpoints at once, breaking subjects into geometric forms. 3. Cubist sculpture developed alongside Cubist painting, beginning in Paris around 1909, with works combining cutout paper and cardboard.

to geometric diagrams,
to cubes!”
