Analytical Cubism Little contrast in

shapes, translucent divisions of space Differing

work Invented by Picasso and George Braque- at
the same time, but not really in
collaboration Retains some sort of depth

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.

Boccioni, Dynamism of a Cyclist, 1913.

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.

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.

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

Jean Arp Mountain, Table, Anchors, Navel.

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.

Bachelors, Even (The Large Glass) 1915-23. DADA

"I am still a victim of chess. It has all the
beauty of art -- and much more. It cannot be
commercialized. Chess is much purer than art in
its social position. Marcel Duchamp

In 1919, Duchamp drew a moustache and goatee,
graffiti-style, on a postcard of the Mona Lisa
and added the caption L.H.O.O.Q. which, as any
French schoolboy could tell you, sounds like elle
a chaud au cul (Shes hot in the ass). It
quickly became an icon of the international Dada
movement.
Duchamp, L.H.O.O.Q., 1919.
