About the time
This is the same time period as Fauvism and Expressionism.
The Art
These art styles are other reactions to the pre and post World War 1 world.
Cubism takes realistic objects, takes them apart and makes them into geometric shapes.
Futurism adds movement to this idea by making the shapes a little more rounded.
Supremativism breaks down experiences into color and shape.
De Stijl (shteel)- blocks of color and black lines in geometric patterns.
Materials
Oil on Canvas. Synthetic Cubism uses real objects like rope and pieces of newspaper or sheet music.
