Cubism • Created with Georges Braque between 1907 -14 in Paris, France “The Cubist painters rejected the inherited concept that art should copy nature… They wanted instead to emphasize the two-dimensionality of the canvas. So they reduced and fractured objects into geometric forms, and then realigned these within a shallow…space. They also used multiple or contrasting vantage points. ” -Retrieved Jan 2013 from http: //www. metmuseum. org/toah/hd/cube/hd_cube. htm
