Discuss at least three of the artistic styles or movements of the early 20th century and explain how those movements and the artists associated with them reflected new attitudes, philosophies, and social and political transformations
What will be an ideal response?
Responses will vary depending on selections. Consider Picasso's Cubism, which abstracted the forms of the visible world into fragments drawn from multiple points of view; Futurism, an Italian movement that expressed motion as the new glory of the 20th century, as evident in Boccioni's sculpture; and Dada, which had the most lasting impact on American art with Marcel Duchamp's "ready-mades" that probed the border between art and life. The art of the early 20th century reflected the bold advances into uncharted territory, against the resistance of conservative forces.
