Cubism was invented around 1907 in Paris by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque.
Cubism was the first abstract style of modern art.
A Cubist painting mostly ignores the traditions of perspective drawing and shows you many views of a subject at one time.
The Cubists introduced collage into painting.
Cubism influenced many other styles of modern art including Orphism, Futurism, Vorticism, Suprematism, Constructivism and Expressionism.
