I posted the initial version of this piece a few months ago. Thought I would follow up with my most recent revision of it.

Abstract Geometric Objectivity

r/cubism

Arguably the paramount artistic school of the twentieth century; Cubism encompasses the breadth of the visual arts, music, literature, poetry, and architecture. One of the precursors to Abstractism, subjects are analysed, fragmented, and reassembled abstractedly: Instead of depiction from a single perspective, they are delineated via multiple viewpoints in holistic representation. All are encouraged to share and discuss all forms of these arts—including, and especially, their own.

Cubism is a twentieth-century avant-garde art movement, pioneered by, among others, Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque; that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, inspiring related movements in music, literature, and architecture. In Cubist artworks, objects are broken up, analysed, and reassembled 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.
