 Purism
A movement in modern painting
and sculpture founded about 1918 by
painters Ozenfant, LeCorbusier, and
Brancusi. Purism was a reaction
against the analytical spirit of
Cubism and sought to remake the
world of objects that Cubism had
broken into fragments. The artists
used bold, clear colors.

 What a Style
 Unlike the techniques used by the
earlier impressionism, patches of
colors remained distinct, blending
when viewed at a distance. In this
instance, when no fusion of the
colors takes place, the interaction is
called “simultaneous contrast”, a
condition in which colors merely
influence one another by proximity.
This technique prevents the
muddiness or darkening that result
when patches of color actually run
