Design Movements A brief introduction to some design styles through the ages

Cubism In cubist artworks, objects are broken up, analyzed, and re-assembled in an abstracted form—instead of depicting objects from one viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context. Often the surfaces intersect at seemingly random angles, removing a coherent sense of depth. Georges Braque, 'Woman with a Guitar,' 1913 www.theantiquesforum.com/.../Cubism.jpg Juan Gris, Portrait of Picasso, 1912, oil on canvas
Arts and Crafts Movement The Arts and Crafts Movement began primarily as a search for authentic and meaningful styles for the 19th century and as a reaction to the eclectic revival of historic styles of the Victorian era and to "soulless" machine-made production aided by the Industrial Revolution.

Pop Art Pop art is a visual art movement that emerged in the mid 1950s in Britain and in the late 1950s in the United States. Pop art challenged tradition by artists using mass-produced visual commodities of popular culture. Pop removes the material from its context and isolates the object, or combines it with other objects. The concept of pop art refers not as much to the art itself as to the attitudes that led to it. Andy Warhol, 1962 Campbell's Soup Cans Roy Lichtenstein's Drowning Girl (1963) on display at the Museum of Modern Art, New York Two Big Black Hearts, 1985, at the DeCordova Museum.
