Cubism is a type of painting (school of art) in which normal shapes of people or other subjects are painted in geometric forms in an attempt to view multiple vantages within a single image - combining multiple views of one object into a coherent whole, styled in a manner intended to appeal to a certain frame of mind. The movement lasted from 1908 to 1914. Cubism could be called a "Fly's eye view of the world". The two types of Cubism are Analytical Cubism and Synthetic Cubism. Prominent Cubists were Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque (1882 - 1963), Juan Gris (1887 - 1927) and Fernand Leger (1881 - 1955).
The famous "Demoiselles d'Avignon" is often represented as the seminal Cubist work. Pablo Picasso
