Cubism was a 20th century movement pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. It revolutionized European painting and sculpture. In Cubist artworks the object is deconstructed and re-assembled in abstracted form, emphasizing the process of creating a visual rhythm and shows the subject in a range of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context. The sense of depth, and normal perception is removed, creating a shallow two-dimensional space, one of cubism’s distinct characteristics.
Picasso called this reorganized form the "sum of destructions," that is, the sum of the fragmentations. In the center of the painters' attention was now the construction, not the analysis of the represented object -- in other words, creation instead of recreation.
