1Which 20th-century avant-garde movement, led by Henri Matisse at the 1905 Salon d'Automne, liberated color from its descriptive function to express pure emotion?
A.Cubism
B.Fauvism
C.Futurism
D.Constructivism
Explanation: Fauvism emerged in 1905 under Henri Matisse and André Derain, prioritizing vibrant, non-naturalistic color choices and energetic brushwork over literal representation. Critics dubbed the group 'les fauves' (wild beasts) because of their explosive color palette.
2How did Synthetic Cubism (c. 1912–1914) primary differ from the earlier Analytical Cubism phase (c. 1909–1911)?
A.Synthetic Cubism abandoned all figurative references in favor of strict mathematical grid abstraction.
B.Synthetic Cubism relied exclusively on monochrome earth tones to decompose forms into multi-faceted viewpoints.
C.Synthetic Cubism incorporated collage, tactile mixed media, flatter shapes, and brighter colors into the composition.
D.Synthetic Cubism rejected painted canvases to work exclusively with three-dimensional dynamic metal sculptures.
Explanation: Synthetic Cubism, pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque around 1912, introduced collage (papier collé), real-world objects (such as oilcloth and newspaper clippings), broader planar shapes, and restored color, moving away from the monochromatic, fragmented analysis of Analytical Cubism.
3Which German Expressionist group, founded in Dresden in 1905 by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Fritz Bleyl, sought to bridge traditional German woodcuts with raw emotional modernism?
A.Die Brücke (The Bridge)
B.Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider)
C.Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity)
D.De Stijl
Explanation: Die Brücke was established in Dresden in 1905. The artists used distorted forms, radical color contrast, and expressive printmaking (especially woodcuts) to critique urbanization and bridge raw psychological emotion with modern art.

A.The revival of Classical Greco-Roman proportions in public architecture.
B.The contemplative retreat into untouched natural landscapes away from cities.
C.The preservation of historical museum archives against modern industrial expansion.

6How did Salvador Dalí's 'Paranoiac-Critical Method' differ from pure Surrealist psychic automatism advocated by André Breton?
A.Dalí used active, deliberate mental induction of hallucinatory states to paint meticulously realistic double images.
B.Dalí rejected all Freudian dream interpretation in favor of direct mathematical geometry.
C.Dalí created paintings entirely by throwing pigment randomly onto unprimed canvases while blindfolded.
D.Dalí relied solely on group automatic writing sessions without ever producing painted visual imagery.

A. Fountain
B. Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 2

C.Promoting individual subjective mysticism through lyrical watercolor painting.
D.Recreating sacred Byzantine iconography for orthodox church decoration.
