Colourful and textured planes of colour in juxtaposition with mixed media. Newspaper thought-provoking hidden words, The Great Pretender, are adjectivally intermingled in a cubist manner with the musical score, Could it be forever. The Expressionist emphasis on individual and subjective perspective has been characterized as a reaction to positivism and other artistic styles such as Naturalism and Impressionism.
The term refers to an "artistic style in which the artist seeks to depict not objective reality, but rather the subjective emotions and responses that objects and events arouse within a person".
In Cubist works of art, the subjects are analysed, broken up, and reassembled in an abstract form—instead of depicting objects from a single perspective, the artist depicts the subject from multiple perspectives to represent the subject in a greater context.
The movement was pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque.
