Correct response: What is cubism?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
The George Braque painting Houses at l’Estaque was mocked by art critic Louis Vauxcelles, who referred to the houses as “little cubes”, leading to the painting being rejected by the 1908 Salon d’Automne. The term “cubism” became used by 1911 to refer to Picasso’s and Braque’s paintings.
