CubismCubism got it’s name from Henri Matisse when he criticized Georges Braque for painting “nothing but tiny cubes”

There are two forms of cubism, the first being Analytic and the second being Synthetic.

Analytic Cubism analyzes the form of an object by shattering it into fragments and spreading them out on a canvas

Synthetic Cubism is a form of collage, Cubist artists would break something apart in order to reassemble it.

Violin, Georges Braque,

Analytic Cubism

Synthetic Cubism

Pablo Picasso

One of the creators of Cubism

One of the most famous artists who’s work spanned almost a century

Disobeyed the laws of perspective by painting with different views on a flat surface. An eye in frontal view and a nose in profile view.

Surrealism

Joan Miro, Carnival of the Harlequin, 1924

Salvador DaliSurrealism grew out of Freudian free association and dream analysis. Artists experimented with automatism – a form of creating without conscious control.

Dali drew from his paranoia and fears to create his art.

He was meticulous in his painting, making the hallucinated objects look as real as he could.

Persistence of Memory, Dali, 1931

Abstract Expressionism

Number 1 (Lavender Mist), Pollock, 1950

Abstract Expressionism was not just about the product created, but the action or active process of creating it.

It started in the late 1940’s and early 1950’s partially as a reaction to WWII

Artists relied on instinct and accidents to shape their work

Convergence, Pollock, 1952

Jackson PollockMost well known Abstract Expressionist

“Jack the Dripper”

Abandoned the paint brush and the easel and started sloshing, pouring and dripping paint all over large canvases on the floor of his studio barn.

Helped to expand the definition of what was art.

Pop Art

Pop art refers to art created by using images from popular culture.

Most of Pop art imagery comes form advertisements.

Andy WarholFound his subjects on the front pages of tabloids and super market shelves.

He would take the image and mass produce it through silk screen duplications.

He delighted in the idea of losing one’s identity and everyone being the same, rejecting the creative and unique aspect of high culture art.

Op Art

Victor Vasserly

Op art is optical painting that is concerned with the interaction between illusion and picture plane.

It is abstract

When the viewer looks at them, the impression is given of movement, hidden images, flashing and vibration, patterns, or alternatively, of swelling or warping.

Photorealism

Richard Estes

Artists would use photographs to gather information and then create paintings that were so precise that they looked like the actual photo

Brought art full circle back to the times of the Renaissance
