Cubism was an influential early 20th century art style developed by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque that rejected traditional techniques of perspective and modeling. Cubist painters emphasized the two-dimensionality of the canvas by reducing objects to geometric forms from multiple viewpoints. Picasso and Braque also developed the technique of collage, incorporating pieces of paper into their compositions between 1912-1913. Cubism influenced sculpture and architecture as well.

2. Cubism was one of the most influential styles in painting and sculfture
developed in the early 20th century created by Pablo Picasso and Georges
Braque.
Cubist painters rejected the previous concept that art should copy
nature or adopt the traditional techniques of perspective, modeling, and
foreshortening. Instead they wanted to emphasize the two-dimensionality
of the canvas by reducing objects into geometric forms and realigning
them in a relief-like space using multiple or constrasting vantage points.
During the winter of 1912 to 1913, Picasso and Braque created the
technique of papiers colles in their compositions.

3. ANALYTIC CUBISM
The small facets of a dissected or
analyzed object are reassembled to
show the same object.

4. SYNTHETIC CUBISM
Large pieces of neutral or colored
paper suggest a particular object, either
because of the shape they are cut or
because they bear a graphic element that
clarifies the association. Cubism also
influenced sculpture and architecture.
