Fragmented Geometry
Definition
This term refers to the use of geometric shapes that are broken, distorted, or rearranged to create abstract compositions, often exploring themes of dislocation, fragmentation, and the deconstruction of form, with a focus on the visual and spatial dynamics of geometry.
History
Fragmented geometry became a key element of Cubism, where artists like Picasso and Braque deconstructed objects into geometric shapes, challenging traditional perspectives and exploring the relationship between form and space. This approach has continued to influence modern and contemporary art.
Notable Examples
Pablo Picasso
Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, 1907
Key Artists & Movements
Key figures include Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, pioneers of Cubism who used fragmented geometry to revolutionize visual representation, and contemporary artists who explore similar themes through abstraction and digital art.
Techniques & Materials
Techniques involve the use of painting, drawing, or digital tools to break down and reassemble geometric shapes, often creating compositions that challenge the viewer's perception of space and form. Artists may use sharp angles, overlapping planes, and multiple perspectives to create dynamic, abstract works that explore the intersection of geometry and visual perception.
