Abstract<br />

It is difficult to see that the painting<br />

depicts a fruit bowl. And that is the<br />

very meaning of abstract art. The<br />

artists aim was instead to reinterpret<br />

what they saw.<br />

The style began in the 1900s with<br />

Paul Cézanne (1839-1906).<br />

Cubism<br />

The cubism is characterized by<br />

that the motifs are depicted in the<br />

form of a variety of more or less<br />

square "puzzle pieces". Pablo<br />

Picasso (1881-1973) and George<br />

Braque (1882-1962) were the<br />

most famous pioneers.<br />

Surreal<br />

The fruit bowl is no longer<br />

just a fruit bowl, but maybe<br />

almost a human head.<br />

Because surrealists wanted<br />

to explore the subconscious<br />

feelings for things. The style<br />

began in the 1920s and<br />

known surrealists are, for<br />

example, André Breton<br />

(1896-1966) and Salvador<br />

Dali (1904-1989).<br />
