Is it art? : post-impressionism, futurism, cubism
A 1913 New York art book by J. Nilsen Laurvik, The International Press, defending Post-Impressionist, Futurist and Cubist painting to a general public. Its plates reproduce modernist canvases in halftone: a fractured Cubist portrait, a Van Gogh landscape printed sideways, a Futurist figure built from overlapping planes, and a Gauguin island scene with palms. A designer can take fragmented faceting and the reduced, monochrome tonal range of early halftone reproduction.
