20 Pablo Picasso, Portrait of Vollard, 1910. ANALYTICAL CUBISM Analytical Cubism Little contrast in color Complex and systematic design Faceted shapes, translucent divisions of space Differing views of the same subject in the same work Invented by Picasso and George Braque- at the same time, but not really in collaboration Retains some sort of depth

21 Pablo Picasso, Aficionado, 1912. ANALYTICAL CUBISM

22 Pablo Picasso, Glass and Bottle of Suze, 1912. SYNTHETIC CUBISM

23 George Braque, Gillet, 1914. 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 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.

25 Dynamism of a Soccer Player [Dinamismo di un footballer]. (1913) Oil on canvas, 6' 4 1/8" x 6' 7 1/8" (193.2 x 201 cm) The Museum of Modern Art, New York. The Sidney and Harriet Janis Collection Umberto Boccioni (Italian, 1882–1916.)

28 Giacomo Balla peedSpeed of a Motorcycle

29 Giacomo Balla Dynamism of a Dog on a Leash

30 Mercurio Passa Davanti il Sole Giacomo Balla Mercury Passing in Front of the Sun

31 Giacomo Balla, Abstract Speed + Sound, 1913-1914. FUTURISM

32 Patriotic Celebration Carlo Carrà Interventionist Demonstration, 1914 Tempera and collage on cardboard, 38.5 x 30 cm about 15x12 inches Carra is clearly following the cubist painterly style in this collage poem the composition moves outward from center in concentric circles and with a number of rays or lines of force moving out from this center giving an impression of an explosion of a loud noise or sound. The words as well emanate from this same center for the most part helping to emphasize the feeling of expansion from a center. The several dark, blackish zones in the center also give an effective sense of spacial depth - a deep void - from which the 'sound' is coming and the space gradually flattening out toward the edges. This sort of visual 'poem' would later develop into what became known as concrete poetry. There are a lot of fascinating sound representations in this poem such as TRRRRRRR and TRrrrrrrrrrr, SSOOOOOOO, BBBRRRRRR, etc. The composition was inspired by Carrà's sighting of leaflets dropped from an airplane as they fluttered down over the Piazza del Duomo

33 Carlo Carrà: "Armtrain"

34 The Dance of the Pan-Pan at the "Monico" 1909-1911 Oil on canvas 2800 x 4000 mm Gino Severini Dominated the Futurists' 1912 exhibition and consistently attracted comment. Its size matched the aspiration to put 'the spectator in the centre of the picture'. Through shifting planes and fractured colour Severini moved towards an abstract language of form. In 1913 he would claim that abstraction was 'a sign of that intensity… with which life is lived today'.

35 Natalia Goncharova, The Cyclist. 1913. FUTURISM

36 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.
