how did the rapid pace of technological change influence cubist artists in the early 20th century?
a. it convinced them to focus on emotion instead of form.
b. it led them to reject traditional artistic conventions.
c. it inspired them to create works celebrating social progress.
d. it allowed them to produce highly realistic works.

Explanation:

Cubist artists in the early 20th century were influenced by the rapid technological change. Traditional art forms were static and represented a single view. The new technology (like photography, which could capture moments, and the idea of movement in technology) made Cubist artists think differently. They wanted to represent multiple views and break away from the single - perspective, realistic representation of traditional art. So, they rejected traditional artistic conventions.

• Option A: Focusing on emotion instead of form is more related to Expressionism, not Cubism.
• Option C: Cubism was more about form and representation of multiple viewpoints rather than celebrating social progress.
• Option D: Cubism is the opposite of highly realistic works as it breaks objects into geometric forms.

Answer:

B. It led them to reject traditional artistic conventions.
