Today in class we discussed how art has been about representing the world and what we are looking at realistically and how Pablo was at the front of a shit away from that initiative. Cubism is born. It’s the process of observing the forms of an objet from multiple angles and combining all information into one mass. the cubits as a group go to public lectures about the human experience and how that experience is made up of constant change. And everything is affected by your experience and influenced by specific biases applicable to you. Cities inspire the cubism movement as well, as they are repetitive in from from block to block you might see the same store twice. This idea is visible in Cubism in the repetition of geometric shapes that are common in cities. Then comes Duchamp who makes art by calling something another thing (calling a urinal a fountain) which generates ready made art and and photo montages or collages. Following, surrealism attempts to capture the subconscious by removing artists intervention in the art as much as possible, or by determining subjects of a piece of art randomly.
