The name: Cubism
Description: In cubist artworks, objects are broken up, analyzed, and re-assembled in an abstracted form —instead of depicting objects from one viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context. Often the surfaces intersect at seemingly random angles, removing a coherent sense of depth. The background and object planes interpenetrate one another to create the shallow ambiguous space, one of cubism's distinct characteristics.
The date that the style existed: During the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
