Modernism
 
 
"Factory, Horta De Ebbo", 1909, Oil on canvas

Features of Style
 
Angle- The painting has been painted at a certain angle as it looks like a birds eye view.

Limited colour- The hue used in the painting is limited to a certain extent as the colours are only shades of green, blue and yellow however, the colours are a mixture of primary and secondary colours.

heavy line work- Heavy line work is evident as it makes the form and shape more noticeable.

Form- There is a lot of form in the painting as the painting contains many 3D different shapes that have been painted.

Influences

Cubism- Cubism was a style of art created by Pablo Picasso (the artist) and Georges Braques. It was an abstract style of art.
 
Technological progress- In a time where technology was progressing and becoming more advanced with new inventions such as photography, cinematography, sound recording, the telephone and more artists wanted to be able to portray this technological progress in their artwork.  
 
Artists associated with the style of art
 
  • Pablo Picasso- developed art style
  • Georges Braques- developed art style
  • Paul Cézanne- Paintings of Paul Cézanne were inspiration for Pablo Picasso and Georges Braques
 
My opinion is that all the styles have been used as the art contains lines, tone, colour, shape form and space because of this the artwork looked very abstract as well as aesthetically appealing all of the features were used as it must have helped the artist express what they wanted to express.
