CUBISM, SURREALISM AND ABSTRACT ART

Cubism is a style of painting and sculpture, that began in Paris in about 1907. It was the most important trend at the beginning of 20th century. Cezanne was the pioneer of cubism. He said, "Everything in nature must be treated as a cylinder or sphere". The important artists included Picasso, Braque and Leger. They particularly chose subjects like still life, landscapes and portraits and the motifs in their works were broken up into small parts. The aim was to give importance on construction but not the emotions. The purpose was presenting the form, not richness of colour in terms of geometrical shapes. Forms became increasingly abstract and generalized. By 1920, this art movement came to an end.
Surrealism was another movement which started in 1924 and continued till 1955. The Surrealist artists tried to use the images of the unconscious in their works. The Surrealists considered themselves representatives of new outlook, mainly influenced by psycho-analysis. It originated as a revolutionary movement resulting from the Dadaist's revolt. Giorgio de Chirico and Salvador Dali were the most famous surrealist painters.
Abstract art is a general term for non-representational art, an art form that rejects the depiction of the contemporary world in a realistic way. It started in the year1910. The pioneers of abstract paintings are Kandinsky, Delarunay and Mondrian. They tried to give a pictured form to depict abstract ideas which is not possible to represent in a realistic method.

क्यूबिज्म चित्रकला और मूर्तिकला की एक शैली है, जो लगभग 1907 में पेरिस में शुरू हुई थी। यह 20 वीं शताब्दी की शुरुआत में सबसे महत्वपूर्ण प्रवृत्ति थी। सीज़न, क्यूबिज़्म का अग्रणी था। उन्होंने कहा, "प्रकृति में सब कुछ एक सिलेंडर या क्षेत्र के रूप में माना जाना चाहिए"। महत्वपूर्ण कलाकारों में पिकासो, ब्रेक और लेगर शामिल थे। उन्होंने विशेष रूप से अभी भी जीवन, परिदृश्य और चित्रों जैसे विषयों को चुना और उनके कार्यों में रूपांकनों को छोटे भागों में तोड़ दिया गया। उद्देश्य निर्माण पर महत्व देना था लेकिन भावनाएं नहीं। उद्देश्य रूप प्रस्तुत कर रहा था, ज्यामितीय आकृतियों के संदर्भ में रंग की समृद्धि नहीं। फॉर्म तेजी से अमूर्त और सामान्यीकृत होते गए। 1920 तक, यह कला आंदोलन समाप्त हो गया।
अतियथार्थवाद एक और आंदोलन था जो 1924 में शुरू हुआ और 1955 तक जारी रहा। अतियथार्थवादी कलाकारों ने अपने कार्यों में अचेतन की छवियों का उपयोग करने की कोशिश की। Surrealists खुद को नए दृष्टिकोण के प्रतिनिधि मानते थे, जो मुख्य रूप से मनो-विश्लेषण से प्रभावित थे। यह एक क्रांतिकारी आंदोलन के रूप में उत्पन्न हुआ, जो कि डडिस्ट के विद्रोह के परिणामस्वरूप हुआ। जियोर्जियो डी चिरिको और साल्वाडोर डाली सबसे प्रसिद्ध चित्रकार चित्रकार थे।
सार कला गैर-प्रतिनिधित्ववादी कला के लिए एक सामान्य शब्द है, एक कला का रूप जो समकालीन दुनिया के चित्रण को यथार्थवादी तरीके से अस्वीकार करता है। इसकी शुरुआत वर्ष 1910 में हुई थी। अमूर्त चित्रों के अग्रदूत कैंडिंस्की, डेलारुने और मोंड्रियन हैं। उन्होंने अमूर्त विचारों को चित्रित करने के लिए एक चित्रित रूप देने की कोशिश की, जो यथार्थवादी पद्धति में प्रतिनिधित्व करना संभव नहीं है।
