Cubism, Futurism, Supremativism, Constructivism, De Stijl (1905–1920)

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.
