Document Summary
Sculptural expression in cubism, motion and simultaneity. Sense of motion, seeing different thing and facets of one thing, dynamism. Was experimental style, not in one medium, but it becomes very traditional in 20th century. Other artists in france and elsewhere also experimenting with cubism, apart from picasso. Painting still remains central to experimentation in sculpture you also get sense of dynamism and braque. Became a right of passage for avant-garde artists to find out what they could. Molinari thought mondrian got rid of cubist space. Dialectic in mondrian"s paintings really old fashioned, he thought it needed to be purified. He tried to radicalize cubism, we can see the struggle within stylistic designation. Very important in cubist painting is that you get references outside the contour of canvas. All of these artists were fascinated with the notion of the fourth dimension, experimenting. Lettering in cubism is very important, as well as every part of the canvas with the impossible.
