Cubism is a highly influential visual arts style of the 20th century. It was created principally by the artists Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque in Paris between 1907 and 1914. Cubism derived its name from remarks that were made by the critic Louis Vauxcelles. Cubism broke with the tendency in art at the time to create the illusion of a three-dimensional space from a fixed viewpoint on a two-dimensional canvas. Afrofuturism is a genre that centers Black history and culture and incorporates science-fiction, technology, and futuristic elements into literature, music, and the visual arts.
