ABSTRACT ART

• CUBISM- Cubism, an abstract movement in art, developed in the early 1900's It is based on the theory that objects should be captured by showing multiple points of view simultaneously. Forms are simplified and broken apart into planes, then reassembled in an abstract form emphasizing geometric shapes. The planes are sometimes tilted by means of shading. This was the first time collage become important in modern art.

Picasso-Les Demoiselles D'Avignon, 1907, oil on canvas, 234 cm W x 244 cm H, Museum of Modern Art, New York.

• Considered the first cubist artwork,

• The painting depicts five naked prostitutes in a brothel

• their figures are composed of flat, splintered planes rather than rounded volumes, their eyes are lopsided or staring or asymmetrical, and the two women at the right have threatening masks for heads.

• The space, too, which should recede, comes forward in jagged shards, like broken glass. In the still life at the bottom, a piece of melon slices the air like a scythe.

Townspeople are cut down as they run from the crumbling buildings. Sixteen hundred civilians are killed or wounded.
