Science Einstein’s Theory of Relativity Quantum mechanics

Picasso Mastered traditional techniques 1.blue period 2.rose period Abandoned Renaissance tradition – new rules Developed cubism with Georges Braque – it was an attempt to shatter previous ideas about form Les Demoiselles d’Avignon (fig. 21.3)

Influences on Picasso Cézanne’s work African and Polynesian masks Iberian sculpture

Cubism Revolutionary departure from representational art. The area around painted objects became part of the abstract geometric forms. Presented the object from many angles simultaneously An attempt to present an object in a “perceptual” way – idea that as we look at something, we “see” one side, but “perceive” its other sides (and interiors) as well.

Stages of Cubism Analytical phase: browns and grays, colors should not distract from lines and planes Synthetic phase: collage

Abstraction Pure line, shape and color – non- representational (no recognizable objects) Sculpture: Brancusi’s Bird in Space (fig ) Painting: Piet Mondrian’s Composition in Red, Yellow, and Blue (fig.21.17)

Anti-Art Dada: rejection of reason and order in art Marcel Duchamp’s “ready-mades:” The Fountain (fig.21.12) Later influenced performance art, pop art

Expressionism German Expressionism: Die Brücke (The Bridge) and Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider) Inspired by Fauves (Matisse) Color caused “vibrations in the soul (Kandinsky in Concerning the Spiritual in Art).” Emil Nolde’s Dance Around the Golden Calf (fig ) Wassily Kandinsky’s Improvisation No. 30 (Warlike Theme) (fig )

Freud The Interpretation of Dreams influenced the humanities of the Twentieth Century Psychoanalysis: freeing unconscious desires repressed by parental and societal taboos

Music/Stravinsky Stravinsky’s music introduced multiple meters, or polyrhythm, and multiple simultaneous keys or polytonality, disturbing dissonance Le Sacré du Printemps shocked the music world 1.Russian folk tradition 2.Diaghilev: artistic director 3.Nijinsky: dancer/choreographer

Music/Schoenberg Rejected the classical tradition of orchestral music Atonal music: not composed in a key – expressionistic Twelve-tone method: not popular with audiences Pierrot Lunaire

Modernist Architecture Bauhaus School (German) – Walter Gropius: clean, functional design Le Corbusier (French) functional glass and metal designs Art deco: sleek, simple shapes with decorative forms, like the “gargoyles” of the Chrysler Building
