a made-up
term for a
type of artwork.
Cubist refers to cubism, a
movement in
art, especially of the early twentieth century, characterized by a
separation of the
subject into cubes and other
geometric forms in
abstract arrangements rather than by a realistic representation of
nature. Impressionism is a
style of
painting associated mainly with
French artists of the
late nineteenth century. It seeks to recreate the artist's or viewer's
general impression of a
scene. It is characterized by indistinct outlines and by small brushstrokes of
different colors, which the eye blends at a distance. Soft, pastel colors appear frequently in impressionist paintings.
