Lost generation
Lost Generation: The after world war 1 new generation frustrated with not knowing what is true anymore, true before world war 1 science is making them industrialized but killing more people,changed the guarantee for the future. Why have traditions that restrain us now for a future that won't come. Leads to dissolution realization of unrealized truth, all these things that were promised are unfulfilling so you don't know what to do anymore, leads to alienation feel like you don't fit in at the stable society, decadence society is decaying because people are turning to things that make them feel good drinking, breaking social norms, smoking, drugs, Expatriation don't feel like you don't fit in from everyone so they ended up leaving and joining a new group, commuting with others leaving the place you're growing in to go somewhere else
Here's me and my table in 1920s Paris as the lost generation, living in the now because no one was thinking there was a future. In the photo we all sat down with drinks and smoking which was looked down upon in the past but we didn't care.
Cubism
Cubism Art
Multiple Perspectives times in 1 pic focusing in geometric patterns Different angels all at different times pressing into a picture all at the same time Definition: Cubism was a1907–1914 art movement, founded by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, that revolutionized European painting by rejecting traditional perspectives. It deconstructed subjects into geometric shapes and, in many cases, multiple viewpoints simultaneously, highlighting the two-dimensional canvas surface. It is characterized by abstract forms, compressed space, and limited palettes. Multiple Perspective: Cubism is a pioneering early 20th-century art movement (c. 1907–1914) led by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque that revolutionized European art by rejecting traditional single-point perspective. It breaks down subjects into geometric, fragmented forms, showing multiple viewpoints simultaneously to represent a "conceptual," rather than just perceptual, reality Geometric Fragmentation: Cubism (c. 1907–1914) is a revolutionary art movement led by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque that abandoned traditional perspective to depict subjects from multiple viewpoints simultaneously. It utilizes geometric fragmentation—breaking forms into cubes, cones, and spheres—to deconstruct objects into flat, interlocking planes. Flattened space: Cubism is a groundbreaking early 20th-century art movement (c. 1907–1914) pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque that revolutionized European painting and sculpture by rejecting traditional perspectives, such as single-point perspective and modeling. Instead of imitating nature, Cubist artists fragmented objects into geometric forms (cubes, spheres, cones) and presented multiple, simultaneous viewpoints on a single, flattened, two-dimensional picture plane. Cubism is linked to the lost generation and disillusionment because it provided a visual language for a world that no longer felt “Whole” or "ordered" following the trauma of world war 1, while the movement began shortly before the war its radical deconstruction of art became a primary tool for artists to express shattered subjectivity of the postwar era
Explnation:
This is an example of cubism because the picture looks broken into shapes, you can see different angles at once, so it looks abstract and not real
Art decO
Art Deco is a bold, elegant style with geometric shapes and decorative details.It usually gives the impression of glamour, luxury, and modern progress. Definition: Art Deco is a decorative art and design style from the 1920s and 1930s known for its elegance, symmetry, and bold use of modern-looking shapes. It appears in architecture, fashion, furniture, posters, and interior design, often using luxurious materials and sleek lines. Multiple Perspective: This means showing more than one viewpoint at once. Instead of one fixed, realistic angle, the image may combine different sides or angles of an object to make it feel more dynamic and visually interesting. Geometric Fragmentation: This refers to breaking forms into sharp shapes like triangles, zigzags, rectangles, or stepped patterns. In Art Deco, this creates a stylized look where objects are simplified into strong geometric pieces rather than drawn realistically. Flattened Space: This means the artwork does not create a strong sense of deep distance or three-dimensional depth. Instead, everything feels pushed toward the surface, so the design looks more decorative, graphic, and pattern-like. Art Deco is a design style of the 1920s and 1930s defined by sleek geometric forms, symmetry, stylized ornament, and a flattened visual space that often turns objects into bold, decorative shapes. In the same way that Cubism expressed a fractured modern world through broken forms and multiple viewpoints, Art Deco translated modern life into a more polished language of repetition, straight lines, and fragment-like geometry.

This is an example of Art deco because of its bold shapes, clean lines, making the image look stylized instead of realistic
