CUBISM
One of the most influential art movements (1907- c1920) of the twentieth century, Cubism was begun by Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1882-1973) and Georges Braque (French, 1882-1963) in 1907. They were greatly inspired by African sculpture, by painters Paul Cézanne (French, 1839-1906) and Georges Seurat (French, 1859-1891), and by Fauvism. In Cubism the subject matter is broken up, analyzed and reassembled in an abstracted form.

FUTURISM
Futurism or futurism – A movement originating among Italian artists in 1909, when the poet Filippo Marinetti's first manifesto of futurism appeared, and lasting into the 1920’s. It was a celebration of the machine age, glorifying war, and later supporting the growth of fascism. Futurist works were especially concerned with expressing movement and the dynamics of natural and man-made forms. Important artist include Giacomo Balla (Italian, 1871-1958), Carlo Carrà (Italian, 1881-1966), Umberto Boccioni (Italian, 1882-1916
