borrowing familiar subject matter. its unfinished. constantly shifting canvas going from 2d to 3d-push pull effect. Likes to confuse the shapes

trying to reconcile 3d shapes with 2d surface. objects reduced into their most essential forms-shapes. uses big swatches of colors to show different planes. creates an architecture of color. push pull effect

interested in how light reflected off of certain planes, surface, leaves a trace of the artists hand-we know it was hand made. Impressionist subject because its capturing glimpse of a moment

Henri Matisse: avant garde=

artist who were always on the frontline of the trend, being on the cutting edge and always questioning society

Henri Matisse:

manefesto of what matisse believed about art=reference to impressionism-a putdown of art that "takes you to another world", imitating cezanne, push pull effect, no illusion of depth

influenced by matisse and cezanne. Snake like gauan

Andre Derain:

fauvism is the basis for expressionism.

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner:

braking up the planes of reality and then flatening them on the canvas. 4 techs. steep perspective-horizon line is much higher. social fragmentation.

he's a really stable form in the pic. while the model is the opposite, implying that he created the model, brings the issue of the model to the forefront-that models were treated as sexual objects for artists to use

was a die brueke artist for a year but his later work is influenced by that. likes paint religious subject matter. 4 techs. influenced by wooden masks from africa and oceana focuses on the oarfices like masks do. breaking the face down into simplified planes.

Pablo Picasso:

interested in so called "primative" cultures. siberian art, face is mask like. subject is picasso's friend, becomes more abstract over time

Pablo Picasso: African/Primative Period(1908-09).

originally titled the brothel, bodies reduced to masses, body is broken down to all of its essential shapes, supposed to capture the basic essence of the real world. unmodulated color flatens the pic. push pull effect, ambiguity of space, no real background area.

interested in showing lower classes. colonialism is going on right now-uneven balance of power as related to prostitutes

Pablo Picasso: analytic cubism.

first true cubist artwork, break down objects to their basic shape and then putting them back onto a flat canvas, although abstract always contains some sort of object from the real world, influenced by cezanne.

seems weird because there's no linear perspective, cubist thought you could give a more true view by not limiting objects to one perspective

readymade=mass produced object only slightly altered by the artist, placed in the art world by the artist, art is what you are told it is*

Marcel Duchamp:

readymade, is art for the sole reason that he chose the object, signed it, and forced to viewer to see it as art-new thought for that object.

mutt-popular comic strip at the time and mott was a plumbing company

tacks added and psychological aspect, dada themes, leads us towards the next movement, threatening quality. assisted readymade
