单词 | cubism |
释义 | Cubismn. An important early twentieth-century revolutionary pictorial movement arising out of the rejection of traditional Western single-viewpoint perspective: in its first ‘analytical’ stages characterized by simple geometric forms which soon gave way to further complexes of interlocking semi-transparent planes. In its second major or ‘synthetic’ phase, flat abstract coloured shapes were assembled and clarified in such a way as to achieve a revisionary significance.‘The word “Cubism”..dates from 1908 and was pronounced for the first time, according to M. Léonce Rosenberg, by a member of the Hanging Committee of the Salon des Indépendants. As a canvas by Georges Braque was being carried by, this person exclaimed, “Encore des Cubes! assez de cubisme!” A journalist seized on the mot and spread it abroad, and the painter concerned, together with his associates, accepted the nickname and confessed themselves Cubists’ (Rutter Evol. Mod. Art 80). ΘΚΠ society > leisure > the arts > visual arts > period, movement, or school of art > late 19th and 20th centuries > [noun] > Cubism, etc. Cubism1911 1911 Illustr.
