Art Movement : Cubism
Cubism : Cubism was an avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture in the early 20th century. In cubist artworks objects are broken up, analyzed, and reassembled in an abstracted form - instead of rendering objects from a single fixed angle, the artist depicts the subject from multiple angles simultaneously as an attempt to present the subject in the most complete manner. Often the surfaces of the facets, or planes, intersect at angles that show no recognizable depth. The background and object (or figure) planes interpenetrate one another creating the ambiguous shallow space characteristic of cubism.Major Artists : * Georges Braque * Marcel Duchamp * Juan Gris * Fernand Leger * Jacques Lipchitz * Louis Marcoussis * Marie Marevna Vorobyev-Stebelska * Jean Metzinger * Francis Picabia * Pablo Picasso * Liubov Popova * Marie Vassilieff * Fritz Wotruba
