Modern Art Terms Definition
Iberian sculpture: The diverse sculptural styles that the Iberians produced from the Bronze Age until the Roman conquest are referred to as Iberian sculpture, a subset of Iberian art. It is frequently referred to as a Pre-Roman Iberian sculpture for this reason. Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) is one modern artist known to have been influenced by older works.
Passage: A term used in French to describe a style of painting in which an image is created using a series of small, intersecting planes of patch-like brushwork. Paul Cézanne, a Post-Impressionist painter, invented this method in the late 19th century. It often entails using parallel repeated brushstrokes of uniform size to produce angled planes that dissect the outlines that appear to define two-dimensional figures. The method gives the impression of flattening three-dimensional space by emphasizing the painting's two-dimensional material origin.
Analytic Cubism: Analytical Cubism is the name given to the second stage of the Cubist art movement, which took place between 1910 and 1912. Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, the "Gallery Cubists," were in control of the style. This kind of Cubism focused on the use of basic shapes and overlapping planes to depict the different forms of the subjects in a painting.
Synthetic Cubism: Between 1912 and 1914, the Cubist art movement experienced Synthetic Cubism. With the help of two well-known Cubist painters, it developed into a well-liked form of art that features straightforward shapes, vivid colors, and little to no depth. It also marked the beginning of collage art, in which the paintings integrate actual things. Analytic Cubism gave rise to Synthetic Cubism. The Salon Cubists imitated it after Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque created it.
Semiotics: A method of examining images, whether they appear in works of art or another form of visual culture, like advertising, is provided by semiotics. The study of signs is called semiotics. Signs are representations with deeper meanings than what they outwardly signify. With the help of semiotics, one can dissect an image into its component signs and determine how those signals connect to other meaning systems.
Collage art first appeared at the turn of the 20th century as a novelty art style. In order to create a cutting-edge form of craft art that had never been seen before, this style experimented with the use of numerous diverse materials that were frequently glued together. Collage arts aesthetic has been characterized as put together, allowing for the creation of entirely original works of art. The first instance of collage art can be found in Braque's 1912 piece, Fruit Dish, and Glass, in which he adhered to faux wood-grained wallpaper.
Papier Collé: The French word "papier collé" refers to glued paper. Like collage, it adds texture to a painting by using printed material (music, newspapers, or wallpaper), sand, sawdust, or anything else. Georges Braque invented the style.
Balkan Wars (1912-13): The Balkan League, comprised of Serbia, Greece, Montenegro, and Bulgaria, engaged the Ottoman Empire in battle from October 1912 to May 1913. The combined armies of the Balkan states quickly defeated the Ottoman armies, which were outnumbered and at a disadvantage from a strategic standpoint.
Simultaneity: It takes time to understand a thing from various angles since you have to move the object across space or around it. As a result, the Fourth Dimension is implied when numerous viewpoints are shown simultaneously (time). The technique can be seen in Robert Delaunay’s “Simultaneous Contrast: Sun and Moon.”
Orphism / Orphic Cubism: The French poet Guillaume Apollinaire first introduced Orphism in 1912 to describe a branch of Cubism that emphasized pure abstraction and vivid colors. It was also influenced by Fauvism, the theoretical works of Charles Henry, Paul Signac, and the dye chemist Eugène Chevreul. Robert Delaunay, Frantiek Kupka, and Sonia Delaunay were the leaders of this movement, which is regarded as crucial in the transition from Cubism to Abstract painting.
Blaise Cendrars was a Swiss author and poet who naturalized as a French citizen in 1916. He lived from September 1, 1887, until January 21, 1961. He was a writer who impacted the modernist movement in Europe. Sonia Delaunay's artwork was shown alongside one of his pieces. He referred to the long poem as the first "simultaneous poetry," printed on folded two-meter-long sheets of paper. This was associated with the proto-abstract expressionism experiments by Robert Delaunay and other painters.
Ballets Russes (Serghei Diaghilev): The Ballets Russes were founded by and are led by the entrepreneur Serge Diaghilev. The best performers of the early 20th century were seduced, cajoled, and convinced to join his group. To make Diaghilev's vi...
