             Likewise, Paul Cézanne’s fractured brushstrokes built a
             flickering scrim of sensation over his landscapes. Without his

             example, it is possible Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque may
             not have created Cubism, the most influential avant-garde

             movement of the 20th century. Taking café table still lifes as
             one of their main subjects, the duo also stood up abruptly and

             flipped the table on one-point perspective. Instead, their
             Analytical Cubist paintings have been compared to discussions

             of the fourth dimension.
