He and Georges called themselves the Wright brothers. They shattered conventional paintings and pieced together the fragments to create something that was so unique and different that some found it hard to consider art. This was called Cubism, the most momentous innovation in art since the development of perspective (Richardson). This new style was so different than the paintings he had made just a few years before. It was flat looking, but had multiple dimensions all at once. They pushed their work further and further over a few years. He left representation all together and the subject of his paintings began to dissolve all over the canvas. This was radically new. Cubism was a hit with many dealers of art. The sharp angles and hard lines felt scientific and mathematical to the viewer, just like the modern world. This look saturated the 20’s and 30’s (Richardson).Braque and Picasso began to attach pieces of cloth, rope, and newspaper onto their paintings. They were the first to use collage on a painting. Picasso started making sculptures out of everyday materials like spoons and scraps of metal, while traditional sculptors used copper, wood, or marble
