What does CUBISM mean in Scrabble?
noun
An early twentieth-century art movement that shows objects broken into geometric shapes seen from several angles at once.
Cubism was developed in Paris around 1907 by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, who rejected the idea that a painting must show a scene from a single viewpoint. Early work in the style is muted in colour and heavily fragmented, while the later phase brought in bright colours and pasted paper. The movement shaped modern painting, sculpture and even architecture and design.
