Which artist is strongly associated with Cubism?

• A. Pablo Picasso
• B. Claude Monet
• C. Vincent van Gogh
• D. Gustave Courbet

Answer: (A)

Cubism centers on showing a subject from multiple angles at once by breaking it into geometric planes. Pablo Picasso is one of the artists most closely linked to Cubism, especially for his collaboration with Georges Braque that led to the development of analytic and synthetic cubism in the early 20th century. Their works reorganized form into interlocking facets and presented several viewpoints simultaneously, reshaping how art could perceive reality. Claude Monet is renowned for Impressionism and its focus on light and perception over time; Vincent van Gogh is tied to Post-Impressionism with expressive brushwork and color; Gustave Courbet is associated with Realism, portraying ordinary life directly. The strongest association with the Cubist move­ment is Picasso.
