Cubism was the first 'abstract' art style which began in the early 1900s when artists such as Georges Braque (French) and Pablo Picasso (Spanish) began painting in such a way that was far removed from traditional art styles. The Cubists tried to create a new way of seeing things in art.
Look at your favourite toy. When you look at your toy from the front, back, sides, bottom and top, does it look the same? These different views are called perspectives.
In traditional artworks, artists would capture things in very realistic ways using only ONE perspective - the way our eyes naturally see. Cubists would capture ways of seeing things by using different views which lead to multiple perspectives!
