Is it art? post-impressionism, futurism, cubism
Is it art? is a 1913 New York survey of modern painting by J. Nilsen Laurvik, published by The International Press, introducing post-impressionism, futurism and cubism to a general American readership. The reproductions are halftone plates of canvases: a faceted cubist portrait built from angular planes, a loosely brushed rocky seascape, a futurist figure broken into overlapping motion shards, and a tropical scene of seated women beside a river. A designer might draw on their fractured geometry and muted sepia tonality for abstract pattern work.
