Task 1b

Cubism

Cubism is a visual art from the early twentieth century.

Pablo Picasso and George Braque created Cubism in Paris between 1901 and 1914.

Pablo Picasso who was Spanish and spent most of his adult life in France, Pablo was also a printer, sculptor, printmaker, craftsman, stage designer, poet and script writer (born 1881 and died 1973).

George Braque who was French was a large twentieth century printer, collagist, skilled drawer, printmaker and sculptor (born 1882 and died 1963)

Cubism was the first abstract style in modern art.

Analytic Cubism was created by only Braque and Picasso, throughout the winter of 1909-1910, it only lasted up until mid 1912, when collage brought out clear versions of “analytic” forms of Cubism.

Picasso and Braque created exact shapes and unique details that would show the whole object or person.

The artists' analyses of objects in space developed for “signs”. The most complicated period of "Analytic Cubism" has been called "Hermetic Cubism," because it is almost impossible to figure out the images.

Synthetic Cubism grew out of Analytic Cubism. Synthetic Cubism was developed by Pablo Picasso and George Braque but then later copied by the Salon Cubists.

Picasso and Braque discovered that through the repeating of “analytic” signs their work had became more global.

Synthetic Cubism lasted into the Post-World War I, influencing 20th-century artists later on such as Jacob Lawrence, Romare Bearden and Hans Hoffman and many others.

Synthetic Cubism's mixture of "high" and "low" art can be considered to be the first Pop Art.

Futurism

Futurism was officially released in 1909 when Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, an creative Italian published his “Founding and Manifesto of Futurism” in the French newspaper Le Figaro.

Marinetti’s endless influence, made sure the movement’s stuck together for three and half decades, until his death in 1944.

Futurism is the most important Italian progressive art movement of the 20th century.

To be a Futurist in the Italy of the early 20th century was to be modern, young, and rebellious.

Inspired by the markers of modernity the trade city, machines, speed, and flight, Futurism’s supporters overblown the new and the wild.

They needed to repair what they decided to be a stable, collapsing culture and an helpless nation that looked to the past for its name. Futurism began as a written modern, and the printed word was needed for this group. Manifestos, words-in-freedom poems, novels, and journals were built-in to the publishing of their ideas.

But the Futurists quickly embraced the visual and performing arts, politics, and even advertising. Futurist artists explored with the displacement of form, the collapsing of time and space, the picture of lively motion, and confusing views.

The idea of Futurism came first, followed by a fuss of fame; it was only afterwards that artists could find a way to express it. 

The futurists' presentation of forms in moving influenced many painters, including Marcel Duchamp and Robert Delaunay and such movements as Cubism and Russian Constructivism. 

Representative Artists included Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, Giacomo Balla, Umberto Boccioni, Carlo Carrà and Gino Severini.
