RESEARCH information for your paper writing.

CUBISM: objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form.

Instead of depicting objects/subjects from a single viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject/object in a greater context.

This approach can distort the subject and its context, making it more abstract and non-pictorial (a non-realistic looking representation). Instead, the subject becomes more of a concept, an idea. Several art movements developed in response to Cubism.

Its ideas continue to be influential in our time.

DADA (Dadaism). An artistic and literary movement that disregarded conventional aesthetic and cultural values by producing works marked by nonsense, grotesqueness, incongruity and inharmoniousness. Its ideas continue to be influential in our time.
