Unique Forms of Continuity in Space	Umberto Boccioni, 1913, Italian, Futurism. Human figure, very approximated. Accurate depiction of motion. Influenced by Victory of Samothrace.	0	CFraissi Tue, 04 May 2010 03:20:38 GMT
Guitar, Sheet Music and Wine Glass	Pablo Picasso, 1912, Spanish, Synthetic Cubism. Very little is actually painted. "The Battle Has Started" -- news article about the Turks, but also message to Braque about their rivalry.	0	CFraissi Tue, 04 May 2010 03:20:38 GMT
The Portuguese	Georges Braque, 1911, French, Analytical Cubism. Portrait of a Portuguese fisherman. Body takes on a triangular shape. Recognizable, but stretches limit of representation. Grande Bal in background -- popular bar at the time.	0	CFraissi Tue, 04 May 2010 03:20:38 GMT
Les Demoiselles d'Avignon	Pablo Picasso, Spanish, 1907, Proto-Cubism. Human but very abstracted. Iberian and African roots/influences. Considered a cornerstone for art -- it was so bizarre that there was no turning back. Disunity between figures, still life is confrontational. Women stare with dead eyes; commentary on prostitution. Awkward positioning became iconic in cubism. Original sketches had male patrons, but he took out.	0	CFraissi Tue, 04 May 2010 03:20:38 GMT
