The Early Avant-Gardes: Fauvism, Expressionism, Cubism, Futurism
The lesson, led by Guido Bartorelli, focuses on the artistic movements that revolutionized the history of art through synthesis and abstraction. The most influential artists of the early avant-gardes—Fauvism, Expressionism, Cubism, and Futurism—will be analyzed in detail.
The lesson explores the main avant-garde movements of the 20th century, analyzing movements like Fauvism, Die Brücke, Cubism, Futurism, and Die Blaue Reiter, featuring artists such as Matisse, Kirchner, Picasso, Boccioni, and Kandinsky. These artistic currents sought to overcome the mimetic view of reality, developing a progressive synthesis that led to abstraction (from the Latin abstraho, “to draw out”) and its representation through mental forms, giving rise to a new artistic conception.
