There were two main types of Cubism - Analytical and Synthetic cubism: Analytic cubism where artists viewed the fragments of subjects from varied angles and 88⌓rebuild the image, painting facets from various views. Synthetic cubism began an idea of adding materials via collage.
From the outset, abstract art split into two directions. One branch was geometric abstraction, marked by precise, well-defined forms. Theo van Doesburg, Roberto Delaunay, and others.
