Which movement emphasizes geometric forms and multiple perspectives?

• A. American Modernism
• B. Cubism
• C. Kiln
• D. Repatriation

Answer: (B)

Geometric fragmentation and showing multiple viewpoints at once define Cubism. Pioneered in the early 20th century by artists like Picasso and Braque, it breaks objects into facets and flat planes rather than a single, lifelike side. By presenting several angles within the same composition, it conveys how an object looks from different directions, capturing a richer sense of form and space. Analytic Cubism emphasizes restrained color and a dense network of geometric facets, while Synthetic Cubism introduces color and collage to reconstitute the image. This approach challenges the idea of one fixed perspective and invites viewers to reconstruct the whole from its parts. The other options don’t center on this combination of geometric form and simultaneous viewpoints.
