Picasso introduced to us a new style called Cubism. The painting Les Demoiselles D' Avignon was the first example of this new style. Many other artists: Georges Braque; Albert Gleizes; Juan Gris; Fernand Leger; Jean Metziger, and sculptors Alexander Archipenko; Henri Laurenns contributed to the Cubism movement. Picasso and Braque were the pioneers to this period in the history of Modern Art.



I would like to suggest to go to this excellent sites Artlex.com and Cubism image Bank to learn more about it.

"We all know the Art is not truth. Art is a lie that make us realize the truth, at least the truth is given to us to understand" (Pablo Picasso)
