Cubism: France: 1907 - 1920's. Cubism was a 20th century garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music and literature.

The name "Cubism" comes from after an insult by artist "Henri Matisse" when he called a painting by Georges Braque, "petits cubes".

Analytical Cubism: 1908 - 1912.

Synthetic Cubism: 1912 - 1914.

Cubism is a painting of a normal scene but painted so that it is viewed from multiple views while the positions of some of the parts are rotated or moved so that it is odd looking and scrambled. In cubist artworks, objects are broken up, analyzed, and re-assembled in an abstracted form — instead of depicting objects from one viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context. Cubism was a response against realism in Impressionism.

Cubism Artists include: Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque.
