But not when Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque started to revolutionize art in the

development known as modern art. Central to this, is cubism. It is called cubism, not
necessarily because cubes are prominent in this mode of art. It is not the shape, but the
manner. Albeit, the name was derived after an artist known as Matisse, described
Picasso’s first cubist work as “with little cubes.” Cubism is defined by fragments of
geometrical shapes.
