With stints in Amsterdam, Paris, London, and New York, Mondrian drew ... |

Picasso's celebrated painting Les Demoiselles d'Avignon is typically regarded as the original cubist work, with its radical fracturing of objects and figures into distinct areas, corresponding to multiple different viewpoints.
