kubitist

Kubism, also known as Cubism, is an early 20th-century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture. It was founded by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque in 1907, and was initially called "Cubism" due to its focus on geometric shapes and fragmentation of form. The term "Kubism" was later adopted to avoid confusion with the unrelated term "cubism" in mathematics. Kubism was a reaction against the naturalistic representation of the world, instead emphasizing the artist's perception of reality. It is characterized by the fragmentation of forms into geometric shapes, the use of multiple perspectives within a single work, and the juxtaposition of disparate elements. Kubism had a significant impact on modern art, influencing movements such as Futurism, Constructivism, and Abstract Expressionism. Its legacy can be seen in various forms of art, including painting, sculpture, and architecture, and it continues to inspire artists today.
