in a way you are correct,its like taking broken pieces and putting it back together in a jumbled up way forming an abstract picture which you can still recognize. That would be the simple and quick description.For the long explanation look above or check out this site.

Analytical Cubism is one of two major branches of the artistic movement of Cubism and was developed between 1909 and 1912. In contrast to Synthetic cubism, Analytic Cubists "analyzed" natural forms and reduced the forms into basic geometric parts on the two-dimensional picture plane. Color was almost non-existent except for the use of a monochromatic scheme that often included grey, blue and ochre. Instead of an emphasis on colour, Analytic cubists focused on forms like the cylinder, sphere and the cone to represent the natural world. During this movement, the works produced by Picasso and Braque shared stylistic similarities.
Analytic cubism is the first form of cubism. It was developed by Picasso and Braque. The time period was from about 1907-1912. They had gotten the idea from Paul Cezanne, who said to treat nature as if it were basic shapes. Braque was the main analytic cubist, but Picasso was also prominent. The main concept of analytic cubism was to analyze the object, hence the name analytic, and then to make them into basic geometric shapes. These shapes were used to represent the natural world. By the name, a person would think it was cubes, but it’s more breaking the 3 dimensional objects up into other shapes. The paintings depict the object from many different perspectives because of this. There wasn’t much emphasis on color, the paintings consisting of primarily simple, monotone colors, like gray and blue.

No that is wrong. Cubism and abstract painting are nothing alike.
Cubism is trying to show an object from all sides at ones. Stuff like perspective or even point of view are not limited to one standpoint. That is why you can see noses from the side, the eyes from the front and the chair he/she is sitting on from the back.
Abstract painting is about many things but never about objects. In other words: Abstract is when you can't tell what the painter painted. (But you CAN feel it)

Cubism is a phase of Post-Impressionist art initiated about 1907 by Picasso and Braque , in which objects were reduced to cubic and other geometrical forms.
The painting "Nude descending the Staircase" is the most recognizable representation of this style.

Jay Jay, the simple definition is this.... Viewing the subject from all sides at the same time and this represented on a two-dimensional surface.
