Pablo Picasso (1881-1974) This versatile, classically trained Spanish artist came to Paris in 1900. His early work, referred to as his “Blue Period” and “Rose Period,” depicted downtrodden people on the fringes of society. Later, under the influence of Cezanne’s use of shifting perspective, Picasso and his colleague, Georges Braque developed the Cubist visual style. Cubism was a major influence on 20th Century abstract art.

Analytical Cubism was a radical step away from traditional representational art. Using geometric shapes, dark and light shades, and forceful lines, a new type of image was created. Picasso was most influential in his creation of a new way of depicting the human body, relying mostly on geometry and value to express form and space. Eventually the form dissolved in a maze of geometric shapes, and color was neutralized into a non- issue. Pablo Picasso, Woman Playing the Mandolin, oil on canvas, 1909

Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) Nude Descending a Staircase, 1912, oil on canvas, 58 x 35” This French artist presents not one image, but a series of movements, stopped in successive stages of action. The result is similar to stop-action or strobe- light photography. This Cubist painting was highly controversial when it was exhibited in the 1913 NYC Armory Show.

Futurism During the first decades of the twentieth century, avant-garde artists in Italy initiated Futurism. They were interested in the mechanized advancement of society and the destruction of all symbols of the past. The leader of this movement was Umberto Boccioni.
