1. Cubism

2. Juan Gris

3. Juan Gris’ Artistic Credo
Bases his Cubism on “the set square and the t-square”
Structures his paintings on the basis of architecture and mathematics
Creates through what he termed “the art of synthesis or deductive art”
Starts from a geometrical shape to create an object
First comes the imaginary concept of the painting (archetypal structure)
Is followed by its confrontation with reality

33. Robert Delaunay

34. Robert Delaunay’s Artistic Credo
Focuses on the city of Paris and its vertical structures, especially the Eiffel Tower series of paintings
Uses multiple points of view as if one moment of time is captured at once: simultaneity of time and space
Later explores multiple views, transparency, and simultaneity in his Windows series
Exterior and interior worlds merge on a flat surface of flickering color patches
