A Look at Cubism

Cubism was one of the most influential visual art styles of the early twentieth century. The Cubist painters rejected the inherited concept that art should copy nature, or that they should adopt the traditional techniques of perspective. Picasso and Braque, the pioneers of cubist painting are highlighted in this title, as well as the evolution of the cubist art form. This title will help students to distinguish their own point of view from that of the author of a text.
