Every object and building we see has an influence or has been influenced by cubism. We respond to the images and products we see around us. Some have a purely practical use others have been dressed up to appeal to our desires so much so that when the objects have been used they are then collected. This has fortunately for us enabled us to map our past. Power and status can be defined by the objects we possess. The designs we know of today really emerged in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries when the profession of being a designer started as a commercial enterprise as modern goods became more complex and consumer demands increased the role of the designer became increasingly

It is easy today for someone to see the effects famous artworks have had: the toy clocks that look like they are melting and dripping off the table, the parodies of artworks on coffee mugs, and the artistic styles that still appear across the world. Many of these products and influences originated from the 1930s. This time was characterized by the Great Depression, upcoming World War II, the entering of communism on the world stage. Economic strife and political orientation found their way into the world of art, helping to develop new movements of Surrealism, Social Realism, and Regionalism along with artists, such as Salvador Dali, that will continue to captivate large audiences for times to come.

A Cubist painting ignores the traditional perspective of drawing and shows you many views of a subject at one time. Picasso created ‘Guernica’ in 1937, which he painted as an immediate reaction to the Nazi bombing practice on the Basque town of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War. ‘Guernica’ shows the tragedies of war and the suffering it inflicts upon innocent civilians. Picasso explores his ideas about his culture and heritage; the bull and the horse are important characters in Spanish culture. The muted colours, the intensity of each and every one of the motifs and the way they are articulated are all essential to the extreme tragedy of the scene, which would become the emblem for all the devastating tragedies of modern society.

MOVEMENTS I. The Avant-Garde movement and other Modern art movements “the rise of a purely abstract, nonrepresentational art in the early twentieth century had, by all accounts, a powerful and formative influence on the development of modern architecture.” In the late 18th century and beginning of the 19th modern architecture was claimed to mainly involve the use of “simple, floating volumes and clear-cut geometries” (Curtis, 12). They looked to nature and tradition as a source of inspiration while also adding significant degrees of abstraction.

For Laver, if a 150 years old trend is applied at present, it will embody the most beautiful form of style. Notwithstanding this seemingly stagnant process, there is still innovation in fashion, because modern designers have different approach in re-establishing previous styles of the centuries. This kind of viewpoint is in line with Benjamin’s concept of ‘reauratization’. Reproduction has the ability to recall the past without disregarding the present. Thus, the old come to be eternal and the ‘dialectics of the old and the new’ turn to be the ‘dialectics of the eternal and the new’.

The start of modernism being the Pioneer Phase took place between the middle of the First World War and the crucial movements from 1929 to 1933, early 1930s being know as the International Style. Pioneer Phase is a chain of variations and individuals who took charge to the problems faced when dealing with the appropriate design that would symbolise the twentieth century. They did so by focusing on three core elements of design, architecture, graphics and furniture.(P.Greenhalgh,1990, p. 91) The Pioneer Phase could simply be classified as a collaboration of ideas in which designers envisioned how the world could create a way in which improves the “material conditions” and mould the consciousness of humankind.(P.Greenhalgh,1990, p. 3).
