whats the difference?

Question

Whats the difference between cubism art and futurism art? are they similar in any way?

Answer 1

Hm, I'm reading these articles (1 & 2) on Cubism and Futurism.

To my understanding, Cubism is a form of expressing nature through your own eyes. As the source puts it, it's "analagous to nature but follows different principles". So it's surrealism combined with the world as someone individually sees it. There are recognizable objects, people, places, but the artist isn't confined to drawing them as society as a whole does. He (or she) can paint what the object is doing in his/her mind.

And Futurism artists (seems like it was a shortlived art movement) were dedicated to "celebrating the technological, future era."

I really can't describe Futurism that well, but the sources have far better explanations and lots of great samples.

Answer 2

Nop! they are not similar..

Cubism - A nonobjective school of painting and sculpture developed in Paris in the early 20th century, characterized by the reduction and fragmentation of natural forms into abstract, often geometric structures usually rendered as a set of discrete planes.

Futurism was a 20th century art movement. Although a nascent Futurism can be seen surfacing throughout the very early years of the twentieth century, the 1907 essay Entwurf einer neuen Ästhetik der Tonkunst (Sketch of a New Aesthetic of Music) by the Italian composer Ferruccio Busoni is sometimes claimed as its true jumping-off point. Futurism was a largely Italian and Russian movement although it also had adherents in other countries.

The American Heritage® Dictionary


The Futurists explored every medium of art, including painting, sculpture, poetry, theatre, music, architecture and even gastronomy. The Italian poet Filippo Tommaso Marinetti was the first among them to produce a manifesto of their artistic philosophy in his Manifesto of Futurism (1909), first released in Milan and published in the French paper Le Figaro (February 20). Marinetti summed up the major principles of the Futurists, including a passionate loathing of ideas from the past, especially political and artistic traditions. He and others also espoused a love of speed, technology and violence. The car, the plane, the industrial town were all legendary for the Futurists, because they represented the technological triumph of man over nature.

Answer 3

Cubism is like taking several pictures of a single moment and overlapping them to form a signle picture showing this. Its about capturing motion. Its has more angles and edges.

Futurism is about expressing what the future may be like. Or concepts of future technologies or ways of possible thinking. The images resemble realistic forms.
