Georges Braque and Juan Gris

Then describe Synthetic Cubism and how Braque and Gris used the style. Show three examples of artwork from each of them. Provide titles and links.

Futurism

The text covers very few Italian Futurists. Find three others. Provide examples of their work and describe how they illustrate Futurism. Titles and links, please.

Suprematism and Constructivism

The textbook covers Malevich’s development of Suprematism, but Constructivism was developing alongside it in Russia. Define Constructivism and explain how it is similar to Suprematism. How were both of these styles used in Russia? Provide three examples of both styles. Provide artist names, title of works, and links.

Include titles and links.

The Bauhaus
