how do u do a cubism piece??
:iconmagrittesbowlerhat:
You break everything in the picture down into simple cubes and squares, from varying perspectives.

It requires one to -really- study their subject.
:iconebben:
One of my favourites, I reckon "Office Space" and also "Rush hour at the station" have a cubist look but I feel intensely that the use of techniques are more closer to German expressionists like Max Beckmann (who even has a self-portrait with bowler hat -but this one doesn't support my idea) and perhaps to Italian divisionists/futurists like Umberto Boccioni. It's hard to explain the similarities but if you know these painters I hope you may agree. It's not cubism à la Braque, Picasso or Leger.
