Antedating of "Cubist"

[Shapiro, Fred]

cubist (OED Nov. 1911)

1911 _New-York Tribune_ 7 May A7 (ProQuest Historical Newspapers)  A truly interesting and original sight is the twenty-seventh annual salon of the Society of Independent Artists. ... There are "cubists," or artists who paint with bits of paint arranged in units something like domino tablets.
