WHAT IS CUBISM? In the early 1900s, some artists became interested in African and Native American art. The styles of those cultures inspired cubism. Cubism began in France in 1907 and paved the way for many different modern movements of art in the 20th century. In Cubism, artists began to look at subjects in new ways in an effort to depict three- dimensions on a flat canvas. Cubist paintings show objects from many angles at once, they would break up the subject into many different shapes and then repaint it from different angles.

Portrait of Picasso, 1912 Juan Gris Cubists wanted to show all the sides of an object in the same picture, as a means of adding depth and multiple dimensions of a one dimensional object.
