The Cubism art period occurred between 1907 and 1919. Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque were the two artists responsible for the start of this art period. During this time, artists rejected the concept that art should be nature and that art should contain traditional techniques.

The Le Pigeon Aux Petits Pois is a painting from the Cubism art period. It was painted by Pablo Picasso in 1911. The painting was stolen, but it has been documented. The painting shows the stylistic characteristics of the art period. Firstly, the piece shows the rejection of the "normal" art concept that has been perceived for centuries. Secondly, the art period was known for peices containing reduced and fractured objects in geometrics frames that emphasized the two dimension canvas. At the same time the geometric shapes showed shallow space and they overlapped one another. Coloristically, the paintings were mostly gray, black, and shades of brown.

Cubism is a popular art period that inspires many people today. This piece from Fendi's Fall 2014 collection shows the influence of Cubism. Just like the piece by Picasso, the pieces have a pattern of geometric shapes that overlap. As well, the pieces use the colors that were dominantly used during the period which could also be seen in Picasso's piece.
