Cubism in painting (early 20th century) violates all usual concepts of two- and three-dimensional perspective. Cubist artists sought to paint “not objects, but the space they engender.” The area around the object becomes an extension of the object itself. Cubist space is typically quite shallow and gives the impression of reaching forward out of the frontal plane toward the viewer. Cubism also found an outlet in architecture. Examples can be found in Prague, Czech Republic.
