What will be an ideal response?
Consider Picasso's Cubism, which abstracted the forms of the visible world into fragments drawn from multiple points of view. This innovation perhaps reflected the plurality of 20th-century culture, where influences and inspiration came from all around the globe. Futurism, an Italian movement that expressed motion as the new glory of the 20th century, as evident in Boccioni's sculpture. For Boccioni and the Futurists, machines were more beautiful than any work from the history of art. The art of the early 20th century reflected the bold advances into uncharted territory, against the resistance of conservative forces.
