Cubism An art movement and style in which the subject matter is cut-up, distorted and transformed into different planes and views. This movement was begun by Pablo Picasso and George Braque (1907-1914). The name "Cubism" comes from an insult by another artist, Henri Matisse. He called a painting by Georges Braque: "petits cubes", or little cubes.
Abstract Art Art that selects and then changes the appearance of its subject matter so it no longer looks realistic. Artists use abstraction in many ways and for many different reasons. The artist may leave out details, shift the point of view, exaggerate, simplify or otherwise distort the image.
