Pablo Picasso claimed that color weakens, so he prefered to highlight the structural shapes and geometric forms in his paintings. He mostly used Cubism as a way to surrealism. Georges Braque and Picasso were the pioneers of this avant-garde art movement in the early 20th-Century. Cubism consists of broken objects reassembled in an abstracted form to represent the subject with different views.
