Cubism, like pointillism, was a gimmick.  It was mannerism in the 
true sense of the word.  That is, the WAY in which the paintings were 
executed was deemed more important than the painting.  Such artistic 
affectations are two a penny and ultimately die a quick death (how 
many cubist paintings can you name?).

Forgive me for the O.T. tirade, but I just HAD to!  Art is a primary 
passion with me.
