Generated Thick Descriptor (via Chat-GPT 4): Cubism, a revolutionary 20th-century art movement, focuses on analyzing subjects from multiple perspectives and reassembling them in abstracted forms. Distinct features include broken, fragmented shapes that give a sense of simultaneous viewpoints, simplification of geometric forms, and the absence of traditional single-point perspective. To create cubist art, start by studying your subject from different angles. Break down the form into geometric shapes and reconstruct these on your canvas, understanding that each shape represents a different viewpoint of the object, creating an analytical and multidimensional representation.
