The artists needed a deeper approach, a new way of seeing that grew the possibilities of art in the same way that technology was extending the limits of communication and travel. This new way of seeing was called Cubism. It was called Cubism because the objects are broken up and assembled like they are made out of cubes. And instead of illustrating objects from one viewpoint, the artists illustrated the subject from a multiple viewpoints to symbolize the subject in a great setting. Cubism was a breakthrough in art and changed the concept and ideas that artists and viewers approached when painting or viewing art.
