    Abstractionism emerged alongside expressionism in the early 20th century as artists explored non-representational forms of expression. It involved analyzing subjects and reducing them to geometric shapes, lines, and patterns influenced by scientific concepts of the time. The two major phases were analytic cubism, which fragmented images into neutral colors and ambiguous forms, and synthetic cubism, which incorporated collage and returning color. Major artistic movements within abstractionism included cubism developed by Picasso and Braque using lines and shapes, futurism depicting machine motion by artists like Severini, and nonobjectivism creating purely abstract works with no recognizable forms.

    Two Phases:

    ABSTRACTIONISM
    1. Analytic Cubism
    -another group of artists styles emerged at - fragments the picture plane
    the same time as the expressionist - used lines
    movement - divide the artwork in
    -it had the same spirit of freedom of geometric shape
    expression and openness that characterized - colors: neutral and muted
    life in the early 20th century but it is different (earth colors)
    from expressionism in certain way. This - subject matter: often
    group of styles was known as ambiguous
    abstractionism.
    -expression of ideas

    Features:

     From the intellectual points of view


    in the early 20th century
     Concepts of space-time and
    relativity
     Logical (sequence/procedure) and
    rational (think; interpret)
     Involves analyzing, detaching,
    selecting and simplifying
     Comes from scientist and physicist
     Natural appearances became
    unimportant
     Geometric shapes, patterns, lines,
    angles, texture and swirls of color
    Types
    1. Representational abstractionism –
    can still identify the representation
    2. Pure abstractionism – totally
    clueless; purely abstract

    2. Synthetic Cubism
    CUBISM - began to collage found
    elements
    - Using many lines and geometric
    - color starts to return
    shapes
    - picture plane continues to be
    - fragmented
    fractured
    - Cubists (painters)
    - Artists: Georges Braque and Pablo
    Picasso
    PABLO PICASSO – father of cubism
    -used black, white and the primary colors
    -Artist: Piet Mondrian (Dutch Painter)

    FUTURISM
    -the futurists created on for a fast-paced,
    machine-propelled age
    -they admired the motion, force, speed and
    strength of mechanical forms. Thus, their
    works depicted the dynamic sensation
    - Artist: Gino Severini
    MECHANICAL STYLE
    -basic forms such as planes cones, spheres
    and cylinders all fit together precisely and
    neatly in their appointed place
    -Artist: Fernand Leger
    NONOBJECTIVISM
    -artist did not make use of figures or even
    representations of figures
    -they did not refer to recognizable objects or
    forms in the outside world
