Pablo Picasso was a Mathematical Art mathematician born in 1881. Cubism is literally mathematics — projecting a 4D object onto a 2D surface.
Cubism — representing 4D space (x,y,z,t) on a 2D canvas. This breakthrough changed the trajectory of mathematics at a time when the world was in the 19th century, the golden age of mathematical rigour.
The impact is still felt today. Cubism shows multiple perspectives simultaneously — a projection from 4D to 2D.
