Expressionist Art Sculpture
Cubism in art refers to an avant-garde style that emerged in the early 20th century, characterized by fragmented and deconstructed forms. It was pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, who sought to challenge traditional perspectives and representations of reality. The style is marked by geometric shapes, multiple viewpoints, and a flattened perspective that breaks down the distinction between objects and their backgrounds. In expressionist art, cubism was often used as a means of conveying intense emotion and subjective experience. During the Harlem Renaissance, cubism influenced a generation of African American artists who sought to create a new visual language that reflected their cultural heritage and experience.
