Cubism — still a major art genre

Cubism, a genre that stands out as one of the most revolutionary in visual art, was pioneered by the courageous and creative minds of Pablo Picasso and George Braque.

Before delving into this experimental style, both artists were steeped in the Renaissance style. However, a fusion of influences from artists such as Paul Cézanne and Henri Rousseau, as well as archaic and tribal art, inspired Picasso to infuse more structure into his figures, leading to the birth of Cubism.
