The Cubists are students of a school of stylized visual arts. Both Impressionism and and Cubism reflect the changes in perspective brought about by the camera. The Cubist style presents the visible from many eyes rather than the one single view traditionally seen from the perspective center. The camera also modifies the way in which a painting is considered as unique to its location in one or another building. The painting is no longer unique since a camera can reproduce and present it in many more than one location at a time. Its meaning diversifies and fragments into several different environments like, for instance, as an oil painting broadcast on a television screen.
