Did a little research, sorry, guess your right....
Duchamp developed a type of symbolic painting, a dynamic version of facet CUBISM (similar to FUTURISM), in which the image depicted successive movements of a single body. It closely resembled the multiple exposure photography documented in Eadweard MUYBRIDGE's book The Horse in Motion (1878).
denis... yr knowledge of art history consistently amazes me.
i often wonder, though, the farther we get away from "movements" in art and time, the more they blend together. for e.g., maybe in the baroque period, they had all these tiny sub-groups that to them were completely obvious, whereas we now largely disregard those divisions and see it as one "period".
just like many people say WW I and WW II were in fact the same war, separated by a brief lull in hostilities, and that, the farther we get from them in time, the more this will become clear.
I think that we are a bit more lucky with art, as most of the new movements were declared with a manifesto. I also do not believe that the artists back in the day had the same idea of art history/movement as we do now; it was more based on schools and teachings. I believe that the most difficult challenge for a modern day artist is to incorporate as much of your learned knowledge into your pieces and taking it just one step further. The German painters are masters at this (neo-impressionist to today).
As for war, it has always been a game for control, so yes, the present battle always resulted from the previous power trip (much like Lebanon being blown to pieces is supported by the USA and is directly linked to Irak).
A Love for Art was a collaborative blog for visual artists, musicians, writers, and social scientists. This blog has evolved into a new blog called BETA, go check it out!

there is something about the way it moves that I like.
dude, these are your greatest works yet. you should look at duchamp and braque whos work in early cubism made them famous.
really great stuff and i think this is your series for the concert hall.
good call. there is a some cubism going here.
bluemask's grey period.
aww shucks (kicks a pebble)
Wouldn't you say that it more resembles Futurism than Cubism?
Check out Giacomo Balla or Unberto Boccioni.

now I`m all mixed up. I`ll check out both....
aha! You`re both right, I found something called "Cubo-futurism" It most resembles the ones I`ve done in colour (but yet to post).
