Cubism
Since the Renaissance, the prevailing convention in painting had been to render a scene in linear perspective from the point of view of the audience. Cubism broke with that convention by trying to show an object from all sides at once — getting at the reality of the three-dimensional world within a two-dimensional art form. Cubists also added bits of paper and other items to paintings and invented the influential technique of collage.
