=== Early 20th century === [[File:Les Demoiselles d'Avignon.jpg|thumb|left|[[Pablo Picasso]], ''[[Les Demoiselles d'Avignon]]'' 1907, [[Museum of Modern Art]], [[New York City|New York]]]] [[File:La danse (I) by Matisse.jpg|thumb|left|[[Henri Matisse]], ''[[Dance (Matisse)|The Dance I]]'', 1909, [[Museum of Modern Art]], [[New York City|New York]]]] [[File:Franz Marc 020.jpg|thumb|left|[[Franz Marc]], ''Rehe im Walde'' (''Deer in Woods''), 1914, [[Kunsthalle Karlsruhe]]]] Among the movements that flowered in the first decade of the 20th century were [[Fauvism]], [[Cubism]], [[Expressionism]], and [[futurism (art)|Futurism]]. In 1905, a group of four German artists, led by [[Ernst Ludwig Kirchner]], formed [[Die Brücke]] (The Bridge) in the city of [[Dresden]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Die Brücke (The Bridge) |url=https://www.moma.org/collection/terms/die-brucke-the-bridge |access-date=2025-01-06 |website=The Museum of Modern Art |language=en}}</ref> This was arguably the founding organization for the [[German Expressionist]] movement, though they did not use the word itself. A few years later, in 1911, a like-minded group of young artists formed [[Der Blaue Reiter]] (The Blue Rider) in Munich.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-09-04 |title=Shows That Made Contemporary Art History |url=https://magazine.artland.com/the-shows-that-made-contemporary-art-history-the-first-exhibition-of-der-blaue-reiter/ |access-date=2025-01-06 |website=Artland Magazine |language=en-US}}</ref> The name came from [[Wassily Kandinsky]]'s ''Der Blaue Reiter'' painting of 1903. Among their members were [[Wassily Kandinsky|Kandinsky]], [[Franz Marc]], [[Paul Klee]], and [[August Macke]]. However, the term "Expressionism" did not firmly establish itself until 1913.<ref name=Sheppard/>{{rp|page=274}} Futurism took off in Italy a couple years before [[World War I]] with the publication of [[Filippo Tommaso Marinetti]]'s ''[[Manifesto of Futurism|Futurist Manifesto]]''.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Khan Academy |url=https://www.khanacademy.org/humanities/art-1010/xdc974a79:italian-art-before-world-war-i/art-great-war/a/italian-futurism-an-introduction#:~:text=Marinetti%20launched%20Futurism%20in%201909,museums,%20libraries,%20and%20feminism. |access-date=2025-01-06 |website=www.khanacademy.org |language=en}}</ref> [[Benedetta Cappa|Benedetta Cappa Marinetti]], wife of Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, created the second wave of the artistic movement started by her husband. "Largely thanks to Benedetta, her husband F.T.

[[Giorgio de Chirico]] moved to Paris in July 1911, where he joined his brother Andrea (the poet and painter known as [[Alberto Savinio]]).<ref>{{Cite book |last=James |first=Thrall Soby |url=https://www.moma.org/documents/moma_catalogue_1967_300298679.pdf |title=Giorgio de Chirico |publisher=Simon and Schuste |year=1955 |location=New York }}</ref> Through his brother, he met Pierre Laprade, a member of the jury at the [[Salon d'Automne]] where he exhibited three of his dreamlike works: ''Enigma of the Oracle'', ''Enigma of an Afternoon'' and ''Self-Portrait''. In 1913 he exhibited his work at the [[Salon des Indépendants]] and Salon d'Automne, and his work was noticed by [[Pablo Picasso]], [[Guillaume Apollinaire]], and several others. His compelling and mysterious paintings are considered instrumental to the early beginnings of [[Surrealism]]. ''[[The Song of Love (Giorgio de Chirico)|Song of Love]]'' (1914) is one of the most famous works by de Chirico and is an early example of the [[Surrealism|surrealist]] style, though it was painted ten years before the movement was "founded" by [[André Breton]] in 1924. The [[School of Paris]], centered in [[Montparnasse]] flourished between the two world wars. World War I brought an end to this phase but indicated the beginning of many [[anti-art]] movements, such as the in [[Dada#Zürich|Zürich]] and [[Dada#Berlin|Berlin]] emerging [[Dada]], including the work of [[Emmy Hennings]], [[Hannah Höch]], [[Hugo Ball]] and [[Marcel Duchamp]], and of [[Surrealism]].<ref>{{Cite journal |date=March 27, 1968 |title=Dada, Surrealism, and Their Heritage |url=https://www.moma.org/momaorg/shared/pdfs/docs/press_archives/4009/releases/MOMA_1968_Jan-June_0026_26.pdf |journal=The Museum of Modern Art}}</ref> Artist groups like [[de Stijl]] and [[Bauhaus]] developed new ideas about the interrelation of the arts, architecture, design, and art education.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Bayer |first=Herbert |url=https://www.moma.org/documents/moma_catalogue_2735_300190238.pdf |title=Bauhaus, 1919–1928 |date=1938 |publisher=The Museum of Modern Art: Distributed by New York Graphic Society|isbn=0870702408 |location=New York }}</ref> Modern art was introduced to the United States with the [[Armory Show]] in 1913 and through European artists who moved to the U.S. during [[World War I]].<ref>{{Cite book|last=Martinez |first=Andrew |date=1933 |title=One Hundred Years at the Art Institute: A Centennial Celebration |url=https://publications.artic.edu/gauguin/sites/default/files/file_assets/61_Gau_MuseumStudies_Martinez19.1Centennial.pdf |publisher=Art Institute of Chicago Museum |chapter=A Mixed Reception for Modernism: The 1913 Armory Show at the Art Institute of Chicago |volume=19 |issue=1 |pages=30–57+102–105 |JSTOR=}}</ref>
