This chapter explores art of the first half of the twentieth century (1900 s) in Europe and North America, including painting, architecture, and sculpture. Some of the primary trends of this era include Early Modernism, Fauvism, Suprematism, Primitivism, Expressionism, Cubism, and Modernism. The chapter focuses heavily on Pablo Picasso, who is perhaps the most influential individual artist of all time. NOTE: During the Twentieth Century, it was decided that art should become universal so that everyone could appreciate it. Imagery that promoted specific religions, races, ideals or beliefs might be rejected by some, so it ceased to be produced. This is where ABSTRACTION comes from! We will continue studying The International Scene Since 1950 as our final topic. Feel free to scan the pages in that section and take some notes in order to get a head start.
