Cubism

Cubism was a popular painting style from around the 1900s. Pablo Picasso and George Braque were two famous Cubist painters. They used Cubism to show people a new way of seeing the world. They looked at an object or person and broke it down into shapes. Then they put these shapes together to make a picture which represented the original object even though it make it may not look very much like it anymore. They used shapes such as rectangles, cylinders and cubes. Most of their paintings were dark and used dull colors like grey and brown. This makes the paintings seem to have many layers and so it can be seen from a number of different viewpoints
