Cubism - 1908-1912 - Europe
Cubism became a catalyst for experiments that pushed art and design toward geometric abstraction and new approaches to pictorial space.
Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque
The key concept underlying Cubism is that the essence of an object can only be captured by showing it from multiple points of view simultaneously.

Cubism - 1908 - 1912After Cubism, the world never looked the same again: it was one of the most influential and revolutionary movements in art.
The Cubist movement in painting was developed by Spaniard, Pablo Picasso and Frenchman, Georges Braque around 1907 and became a major influence on Western art. The artists chose to break down the subjects they were painting into a number of facets, showing several different aspects of one object simultaneously. The work up to 1912 is known as Analytical Cubism, concentrating on geometrical forms using subdued colors.
The second phase, known as Synthetic Cubism, used more decorative shapes, stencilling, collage, and brighter colors. It was then that artists such as Picasso and Braque started to use pieces of cut-up newspaper in their paintings.

Expressionism
Expressionism can be used to describe various art forms.
In its broadest sense, it is used to describe any art that raises subjective feelings above objective observations.
The style aims to reflect the artist's state of mind rather than the reality of the external world.
