Cubism and Futurism

     Cubism is known to be the most influential art in the early 20th century. Pablo Picasso was a Spanish creator of this unique art movement. Cubist artist focused mainly on analyzing, breaking up the art work. Their art was abstracted and consisted of pieces and bits of color, And objects to create art. 
  One art piece that was very interesting is a cubist art called Two Nudes. This piece was made in 1906 in Paris by Picasso. It was made oil on canvas. It was  abstracted work showing two nude women standing besides each other.  It seems that they are showing sensual love between these women. One woman is starting at the viewers with sexual tension, which was what the artist was trying to show.

                              


   Futurism is another art movement. However, a different movement.  It was originated In Italy, which was a social movement. It showed contemporary concept in the art, such as future objects in the art.  Objects such as technology, cars, the youth. 
       An art work In the futurism era called abstract speed and sound . It is a piece that shows bright colors and different kinds of colors. It kind of gives an illusion of 3D or outer space. It is like so many things are happening in one picture. The piece is about an average size portrait, yet you kind of feel like you're moving along with the colors when ever you look at it for too long. This piece was  created in 1913-14 by Giacomo Balla.
