Cubism has absolutely nothing to do with the fourth dimension. The fourth dimension, as applicable to Einstein's relativity, is the function of a four dimensional space/time manifold; an actual non-tangible formation, of which Cubism is not a representation.

The reason some people begin to believe that Cubism has something to do with the fourth dimension, is simply because most people involved with the art world know little, if any at all, about the function of physics, and also the the people who understand physics know little about the art world. The art world simply takes advantage of the misunderstandings to use the concept as a marketing ploy.

So, we can know that what is really happening, when people cite the fourth dimension in an attempt to rationalize Cubism, is simply the function of The Emperor's New Clothes, and also people proving that they do not understand either function.
