A theory, practice, or movement emphasizing deformation or the intentional change of form as a philosophy or aesthetic.
From deform + -ism (suffix creating nouns for ideologies, practices, or conditions). The -ism suffix comes from Greek -ismos.
While not a common word, deformism could describe artistic movements that deliberately distort form—like how Picasso's Cubism deforms realistic shapes to show multiple perspectives at once.
