The Modern Art Movement has five
different and distinct eras of
influences.

3. Showing all views of an object at the same time with lots of squared
and triangle shapes.
This artmovement lasted from 1907 to 1922.
Two events marked the beginning of Cubism.
The first was Picasso returning to Paris from his home in Catalonia
with his painting Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907).
In its radical distortion of the figures, its rendering of volumes as
fragmented planes, and its subdued palette, this work predicted
some of the key characteristics of later Cubism.

4. Secondly, Braque made a series of landscape
paintings in the summer of 1908, in which
trees and mountains were rendered as
shaded cubes and pyramids, resembling
architectural forms.
It was this series that led French art critic Louis
Vauxcelles to describe them as “Bizarreries
Cubiques" thus giving the movement its
name.

5. Paid attention to dreams and fantasies!
Surrealism lasted from 1922 to late 1966.
It was a twentieth century avant-garde art
movement.

6. This movement in art originated in the nihilistic
(rejection of) ideas of the Dadaist and French
literary figures, especially those of its
founder, French writer André Breton (1896-
1966).
At first a Dadaist, he wrote three manifestos
about Surrealism — in 1924, 1930, and 1934,
and opened a studio for "surrealist research."

7. Unconventional types of paints and
ways to apply paints!
This art movement lasted from 1943
to 1965.

8. Almost all of painters who later became
abstract painters in the late 1930's &
1940's in NewYork were stamped by the
experience of the great depression.
It influenced them to make art based on
their personal experience.

9. Reaction to abstraction that focused on commercial images
and popular culture.
This art movement lasted from the 1950's to the 1970's.
In London in 1952 a group of artists calling themselves the
independant group began meeting regularly to discuss
topics such as mass culture's place in the arts.
The actual term "Pop-Art" has many possible origins.

10. The first use of the term has been attributed to
both Lawrence Alloway and Alison & Peter
SMithson.
The first artwork to incorporate the word "Pop" is
said to have been produced by Paolozzi's collage
"I was a rich man's plaything" (1947).
The image contained cut-up images of a girl, coke-
cola logo, cherry pie,WorldWar II fighter plane,
& a man holding a pistol out which bursts the
word "Pop" in a puffy white cloud.

11. Art that is increasingly based on electronic media.
This art movement started in 1945 PostWWII and
continues in the present.
Embodies the idea of always moving forward
and constantly changing.
Great works ranging from the late 19th century
VanGogh, Gaugin, and Monet's to works
produced today (i.e. sculptures, media and
multi-media art .
