Cubism

Cubism was a 20th century avant-garde art movement, pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. It revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music and literature.

In cubist art, objects are broken up, analyzed, and re-assembled in an abstracted form—instead of depicting objects from one viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context.

Historical Origins of camouflage in Cubism:- After looking at different types of Cubism I would say Analytic Cubism is the most closely related to camouflage as it seems to look like many different lines and shapes hiding an image in the background, a good examples of this would be the Portrait of Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler, 1910.
