CUBISM
Cubism was one of the first radically new propositions about the way we made paintings. It revolutionised art and included 3rd and 4th dimensions. Cubists wanted to represent all sides (to our knowledge) of the shape or object, but compressed.
Desmoiselles D'avignon - Picasso
Woman With Instrument - Picasso
Opening Scene from Reservoir Dogs. This clearly shows how cubism, and showing all angles has highly influenced not only art, but film.
It was also about painting the time experienced when looking at something. Unfortunately Cubism had its flaws. It couldn't represent movement or speed.
A more modern example of a famous artist who has adopted this style is David Hockney. David Hockney has become extremely successful in using "Joiner" Photography. Through this method he has been able to create a very cubist effect. Portraying every angle to a subject/ object and still maintaining a element of clarity so the subject matter isnt lost.
FUTURISM
A right-wing, mostly italian movement. Obsessed by the "New", speed, noise and power. There have been many artists who have worked using this style including Eadweard Muaybridge, Severini, Balla, Cara, Dottori and Crali.
Balla - Swifts 1913
This wasnt just the capture of swifts, it was the capture of air movement.
Balla - Abstract Speed & Sound 1913
Funeral of the Anarchist Galli - Cara 1911
Light While Flying - Dottori 1931
Cityscape - Crali 1939
