question 6 of 10
how did the rapid pace of technological change influence cubist artists in the
early 20th century?
a. it led them to reject traditional artistic conventions.
b. it allowed them to produce highly realistic works.
c. it convinced them to focus on emotion instead of form.
d. it inspired them to create works celebrating social progress.

Explanation:

Cubism was an avant - garde art movement that emerged in the early 20th century. The rapid technological changes of the time, such as the development of new ways of seeing (like in photography and the understanding of perspective in new ways) led Cubist artists to reject traditional artistic conventions of perspective, representation, etc. Option B is wrong because Cubist works are not highly realistic. Option C is wrong as Cubism was more about form and structure rather than focusing on emotion (that was more of Expressionism). Option D is wrong as Cubist works were not about celebrating social progress. So the correct option is A.

Answer:

A. It led them to reject traditional artistic conventions.
