Have you ever been drawn to bold geometric shapes, abstract compositions, and fragmented visuals in art? If so, you've already experienced the power of Cubism — a revolutionary movement that broke all the rules of traditional art and continues to shape modern visual culture.
At Cubo Art, Cubism isn’t just history — it’s a core part of our identity. Our art prints are inspired by the same aesthetic that challenged the way we see form, color, and perspective.
What Exactly Is Cubism?
Cubism was born in the early 20th century in Paris, challenging the conventional way of representing space and volume. Instead of showing a subject from a single angle, Cubist artists used geometric shapes to represent multiple perspectives simultaneously.
It was a radical departure from realism — and the beginning of modern abstract art.
The Founders of Cubism: Picasso & Braque
Two names are inseparable from the history of Cubism:
Pablo Picasso – His 1907 painting Les Demoiselles d’Avignon marked a seismic shift in the art world.
Georges Braque – Partnering with Picasso, Braque helped shape the early visual language of Cubism through subdued palettes and fragmented forms.
Other important Cubist artists include:
Juan Gris – Known for clean lines and colorful balance.
Fernand Léger – Blended Cubism with mechanical and urban themes.
Robert Delaunay – Explored color and abstraction through Orphism.
Featuring Tarsila do Amaral: A Brazilian Modernist Voice
Cubism didn't just revolutionize European art — it echoed across continents. One remarkable figure is Tarsila do Amaral, a Brazilian modernist whose works were heavily influenced by Cubism, Surrealism, and national identity.
Her bold compositions and vibrant colors celebrated Brazilian culture through a modern lens. At Cubo Art, we proudly feature Tarsila-inspired prints, celebrating her impact on Latin American art.

Fun Fact
Did you know? The term “Cubism” came from a critic who said Braque’s paintings looked like they were made of little cubes. The name stuck — and reshaped the world of art.
Cubism Today: Still Inspiring Creativity
Cubism remains relevant because it challenges perception. Its core message — that we can see the same subject from many angles — aligns with the way we experience information, identity, and creativity in the digital age.
Whether you're decorating a home office, a gallery wall, or a creative workspace, Cubist art adds depth, movement, and cultural sophistication.
