Cubism was one of the great art movements of the first quarter of the 20th century, helmed by iconic artists such as Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque and Juan Gris. It is now being revisited by artificial intelligence. An exploration which, according to art and image theorists, nevertheless raises ethical questions.
