What is Cubism?

• Cubism was an art movement that officially lasted
  from 1907-1914, but has continued to impact art
  to the present.
• In Cubism the subject matter is broken up,
  analyzed, and reassembled in an abstracted form.

Can you see how the objects in the painting
appear to have been broken and put back together?
