Analytical Cubism Little contrast in color Complex and systematic design Faceted shapes, translucent divisions of space Differing views of the same subject in the same work Invented by Picasso and George Braque- at the same time, but not really in collaboration Retains some sort of depth Pablo Picasso,Portrait of Vollard, 1910.

  23. Synthetic Cubism Invented by Braque and Picasso Puts forms back together after breaking them apart “Collage” comes from French word for “glue” Foreign materials are pasted onto the design- makes the collage look like a real surface Scraps are changed and painted on, giving them a double meaning George Braque, Gillet, 1914. New Space Concept - first since Masaccio

  24. Futurism First announced on Feb. 20, 1909 Newspaper Le Figaro published a manifesto by the Italian poet and editor Tommaso Marinetti: We will fight with all our might the fanatical, senseless and snobbish religion of the past, a religion encouraged by the vicious existence of museums. We rebel against that spineless worshiping of old canvases, old statues and old bric-a-brac, against everything which is filthy and worm-ridden and corroded by time. We consider the habitual contempt for everything which is young, new and burning with life to be unjust and even criminal. To purposely intended to inspire public anger and amazement, to arouse controversy, and to attract widespread attention. Umberto Boccioni, Unique Forms of Continuity in Space, 1913.

  25. Boccioni,Dynamism of a Cyclist, 1913.

  26. Art Deco Art Deco was a popular design movement from 1920 until 1939, affecting the decorative arts such as architecture, interior design, and industrial design. This movement was a combination of many different styles and movements of the early 20th century, including Constructionism, Cubism, Modernism, Bauhaus, Art Nouveau, and Futurism. Its popularity apexed during the 1920s. Although many design movements have political or philosophical roots or intentions, Art Deco was purely decorative. At the time, this style was seen as elegant, functional, and ultra modern. William Van Alen,The Chrysler Building, 1930.

  27. DADA Started as a reaction to the horrors of WWI and Nihilism Began independently in Zurich and NY French for “hobbyhorse”, but the word itself had no meaning Believed that reason and logic had been responsible for war Only hope was anarchy, irrationality, and intuition Pessimism and disgust of the artists helped them reject tradition- Arp pioneered the use of chance in artwork- releassed him from the role of artist For Dadaists, the idea of chance comes from the unconsciousness- influenced by Freud Jean Arp,Collage Arranged According to the Laws of Chance, 1916-17.

  28. “We had lost confidence in our culture. Everything had to be demolished… At the Cabaret Voltaire we began by shocking common sense, public opinion, education, institutions, museums, good taste, in short, the whole prevailing order.” Hannah Hoch,The Pretty Maiden, 1920. DADA

  29. Jean Arp Mountain, Table, Anchors, Navel. 1925. DADA

  30. Marcel Duchamp Duchamp was the central figure in NY Dada scene Exhibited his first “ready-made” sculptures - mass produced common products “selected” by the artist Free from the opinions of the population- neither good or bad taste Forces viewers to see the “artness” of objects Marcel Duchamp,Fountain, 1913.
