It lasted only for a period of two years, namely from the year 1909 to the year 1911.

Cubism is a style based on the principle of the simultaneous presentation of multiple views, disintegration and the geometric reconstruction of objects. The spaces in which these paintings are made are flattened, ambiguous and pictorial. The figure and the ground merge into a single surface of shifting planes. The surface of shifting planes is interwoven. The use of colours is mostly limited to the use of neutral colours. In the cubism art form, the artist breaks down the subject, which is in its natural form, into geometric shapes, thereby creating a new kind of pictorial space.
