What is cubism in art? Cubism is an influential art style defined by its method of depicting three-dimensional reality through geometrical shapes on a two-dimensional canvas. Established around 1907 or 1908, cubist artists depict a subject by utilizing geometrical shapes and forms from varying perspectives of the subject. In practice, form, and observation, cubist art is a means of discovering the true essence of a subject rather than a surface level perspective. Analytical cubism refers to the approach of creating a subject through geometrical shapes and depicting it in a flattened way. Artists were less concerned with the appearance of a final work, but rather interested in the process of exploring a subject through cubism. Both the artist and the viewer can better discover that subject’s essence rather than its surface-level appearance. Cubism opened the doors to how artists can create an experience through their work rather than simply depicting a realistic form.
