Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque and Fernand Leger developed Cubism in 1908-1912. Their immediate influences are said to be Tribal Art (although Braque later disputed this).
The movement itself was short-lived and or not widespread, but it began an immense creative explosion which resonated through all of 20th century art. This form of art contains lots of imagination. The key concept of Cubism is that the essence of objects can only be captured by showing it from multiple points of view simultaneously.
Painters usually depict objects and people in machinelike forms and some painters separated color from the paintings of figures, which, while they retained their robotlike shapes. Cubism had run its course by the end of World War I, but among the movements directly influenced by it were Orphism, Purism, Precisionism, Futurism, Constructivism, and, to some degree, Expressionism.
