Artists Proclaim Distinctness of the 20th Century stamp issued April 15, 1997. Along with amazing advances in technology, science and medicine, the 20th century began with artists looking at the world -- and representing it -- in new ways. One of the most influential 20th century art movements was Cubism. Unlike traditional art that was clearly understood and appreciated in terms of style, subject matter and composition, a Cubist work demanded viewer participation, was much more interpretive and allowed the observer to experience the art through imagination and subjective understanding. In 1907, Spanish artist Pablo Picasso, working in France, created the first influential Cubist work, Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, shown in the background of this painting. Other influential artists of the era include Henri Matisse, Georges Braque and Wassily Kandinsky. Image Size: 11.75 x 17.25 in. Overall Size: 18 x 23.25 in. Unframed. (B15633 / B15635) See More
