Answer:

Cubism is focused on the problem of the "object" that needs to be reconstructed, as opposed to the vagueness and impermanence of the Impressionist surface. Everything that relies on subjectivity or on a specific and firm view must be eliminated in order to arrive at an overall, conceptual, complete variant of form.

Explanation:

The Cubist painter creates layers of deposits over a two-dimensional substrate, the result being the transformation of spatial representation into several simultaneous views of an object on the same surface.

Picasso's statement: "I paint objects as I imagine them, not how I see them," supports this thesis. In Cubism, the influence of African art is also present, and the basis is the cube.
