Cubism is a
highly influential visual arts style of the 20th century that was created
principally by the painters Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque in Paris between
1907 and 1914.
The period from 1910 to 1912 often is referred to as that of
Analytical Cubism. Paintings executed during this period showed the breaking
down, or analysis, of form.
Interest in this subject matter continued after
1912, during the phase generally identified with Synthetic Cubism.
