Cubo-Futurism

Cubo-Futurism was an early 20th-century Russian avant-garde movement that combined Cubist fragmentation with Futurist dynamism, especially in painting and poetry.

Cubism: An art movement that depicts subjects through geometric forms, fractured viewpoints, and overlapping planes. Its fractured forms supplied one half of Cubo-Futurism’s visual vocabulary.
Simultaneity: The representation of multiple events or viewpoints as occurring at once. Cubo-Futurist works compress successive actions and viewpoints into a single image or poem.
David Burliuk: A Russian artist and poet who became a leading organizer and promoter of Cubo-Futurism. He helped unite artists and poets around the movement and its public manifestos.
The Knifegrinder: A 1912 painting by Kazimir Malevich that fragments a figure and machine into repeated, overlapping forms. Its repeated contours turn a familiar laboring figure into a study of mechanical motion.
Suprematism: An abstract art movement founded by Kazimir Malevich around geometric forms and nonobjective feeling. Malevich’s move from Cubo-Futurist figuration toward pure geometry helped lead to Suprematism.
Futurism: An artistic movement that celebrated modern technology, speed, urban life, and radical break with tradition. Its celebration of motion and modernity supplied the movement’s dynamic impulse.
Multiple exposure: A photographic technique that records several exposures on one frame or image. Its layered appearances offer a close visual analogy to Cubo-Futurist depictions of motion.
Vladimir Mayakovsky: A Russian poet and playwright whose early work helped define Futurist poetry in Russia. His forceful, experimental poetry became one of Cubo-Futurism’s best-known literary expressions.
The Cyclist: A 1913 painting by Natalia Goncharova depicting a cyclist through layered forms and repeated movement. It makes the movement’s fusion of fractured planes and speed especially legible.
Constructivism: A Russian art movement that treated artistic production as a practical, material construction for modern society. The movement’s experiments fed into the Russian avant-garde that later embraced constructed forms and materials.
