This was a movement that looked at the subject in a new way and from different viewpoints by analyzing breaking it up into an abstracted form. Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque were two of the main leaders of this movement.

Synthetic Cubism
1912-1914
Synthetic Cubism was a movement within the Cubist movement. It was sparked by Pablo Picasso's "Still Life With Chair Caning," and introduced collage to twentieth-century modernism. It made use of new materials, textures, and surfaces in two-dimensional art, and elevated collage to "high" art.
Other artists associated with this movement include Georges Braque and Juan Gris.

1911-1911
The first exhibition to show Cubist work, which was displayed in its own room, ‘Salle 41.’
