Cubism

“It is almost impossible to

exaggerate the importance

of Cubism. It was a

revolution in the visual arts

as great as that which took

place in the early

Renaissance. Its effects on

later art, on film, and on

architecture are already so

numerous that we hardly

notice them.” John Berger
