Cubism is a period of Art History (within Modernism) that sought to replicate an image of an object as seen from multiple vantage points over the course of an extended period of time. The image, as a result, looks broken and fragmented, but this forces the spectator to see what has been painted piece by piece and understand the span of time that is also represented within the work. In this way, Cubism was one of, if not THE, first movement that introduced an element of time to still art.
