with simple geometric
shapes, such as cubes,
cylinders or spheres.Las señoritas de Avignon, by Picasso
EXPRESSIONISM• Emphasis in the depiction of
emotions (such as disappointment, or
suffering during the war).
• Simple but dramatic techniques.
• Powerful colours.
• Dynamic images.
• Emotion showed through deformed
faces, hands or other parts of the

reduced to very basic silhouettes.The scream, by Edward Munch

DADAISM
• Movement inspired by people´s experiences of
the WWI, and especially the disillusioment
with society that artists felt as a result of the
war.
• Dadaist wanted to provoke people by rebelling
against established models of artistic
expressions.
• The scandalous Duchamp´s work was a
porcelain urinal, which was signed "R.Mutt"
and titled Fountain. It´s considered a major
landmark in 20th-century art.
