This book contains the following titles:


- Cubism: Cubism is a revolutionary movement in modern art that emerged in the early 20th century, fundamentally altering the way artists approached space, form, and perspective. At its core, Cubism challenged the traditional representation of reality by deconstructing subjects into geometric shapes, presenting multiple viewpoints simultaneously, and exploring abstraction. This departure from classical artistic conventions was not just a style but a new way of thinking about how we perceive the world.


- Dada: The origins of Dada can be traced back to the turbulent period surrounding World War I, a time marked by social, political, and cultural upheaval. The war, which began in 1914, devastated much of Europe and shook the very foundations of society. In the wake of such destruction, many artists and intellectuals began to question the values and conventions that had led to such violence. It was in this climate of disillusionment that Dada was born.


- Surrealism: Surrealism emerged in the early 20th century as a revolutionary cultural movement that sought to liberate the human imagination from the confines of reason and rationality. Rooted in the devastation of World War I and a growing disillusionment with traditional societal structures, Surrealism presented itself as a means to access deeper truths about the human experience. At its core, Surrealism was about embracing the irrational, the fantastical, and the dreamlike aspects of life, encouraging the exploration of the unconscious mind.
