Expressionism emphasizes inner feelings and simplifies subject forms. Wassily Kandinsky's Blue Mountain from 1908-1909 exemplifies this style. Cubism emphasizes composition over expression and deconstructs and reconstructs forms. Pablo Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon from 1907 features fractured, angular figures that do not use traditional 3D representation and simultaneously show multiple views of objects.
