What happened

In 1907, Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque developed Cubism, an avant-garde art movement that broke traditional perspectives by depicting subjects from multiple viewpoints. This innovative style challenged conventional representation and influenced a wide range of artistic disciplines. Cubism marked a revolutionary shift in the art world, paving the way for modern art movements and altering the perception of visual reality.
