Document Summary

Artists are looking for different ways to represent life and society. > art created to rep. dif. aspects of reality. Cubists were thinking of industrialization of society and how it is rapidly changing due to technology. > incorporated objects from real life into paintings. Pablo picasso, glass and bottle of suze, 1912. I paint forms as i see them, not how i think them . Pulling back from complete abstraction to create more visually discernible subjects. Picasso: there is no such thing as completely abstract art, because you have to start somewhere . > known as synthetic cubism because of the way artists created complex compositions by combining and transforming individual elements, as in chemical synthesis. Work is a collage > composed of separate elements pasted together (newspaper is incorporated into art work shows clippings of 1st balkan war contrib. to outbreak of wwi) > suggest a tray/round table supporting a glass and bottle of liquor with an actual label.
