Silk tie - Pablo Picasso - Dove of Peace

The cubist movement in painting was one of the most important and influential artistic movements of the 20th century. It was developed by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque from 1907, and expanded to include other artists such as Juan Gris and Francis Picabia. Cubism is characterized by the fragmentation of forms and the use of geometric lines and planes to represent objects in an abstract manner. Cubist artists also used a limited color palette and often incorporated African-inspired patterns and cubic forms in their works. Cubism had a significant impact on modern art and influenced many later movements, such as futurism and lyrical abstraction. It also had an influence on other areas of culture, such as architecture and fashion.
