For our final project we have created a online presentation using the program Prezi. In our Prezi we examine several different art and literary movements as well as the artists and writers that influenced and occupied them. Beginning with the emergence of Cubism and Gertrude Stein’s attempt to use this school in language and ending with an Examination of Surrealism, both in art and literature, particularly Elliot’s work. Other movements and styles examined include: Imagism, borne out of Realism and practiced by poets H.D. and Pound; Futurism, as it affected Mina Loy’s writing; Feminism, Mina Loy’s manifesto that stemmed from Futurism; and finally Vorticism, the shocking offspring of Cubism and futurism that Ezra Pound enjoyed so much. Modernism as a movement was created through interdisciplinary artistic interaction which is exactly what our presentation focuses on.
