Picasso Portrait of Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler 1910

“Cubists felt that perspective didn’t truthfully represent the world because a single viewpoint only gave one side of things. Picasso and Braque were not interested in the superficial appearance of objects. They wanted to reveal many aspects at once and encompass a whole experience…” Tate

Have a look at the links below and leave a short comment about them – why do you think the Cubists rebeled against a single point of view?
1. An article about Picasso and Cubism: Perspective, Viewpoint and Cubism
2. A paintings by Pablo Picasso: Portrait of Vollard
3. Some photo collages by David Hockney (inspired by Cubism) Polaroid composits
