Cubism: An artistic movement in France beginning in 1907 that featured surfaces of geometrical planes. Cubism was a 20 th century style pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, that revolutionized European painting and sculture. It is important to mention that the term derived from a reference made to geometric schemes and cubes by the critic Louis Vauxcelles in describing painting exhibited in Paris by Braque in 1908. It is more generally applied not only to work of this period by Braque and Picasso, but also to a range of art produced in France during the later 1900s, the 1910s and the early 1920s and to variants developed in other countries. Personally I do not like this style.
