The city rises, by Umberto Boccioni in 1910. I think in this picture it’s happening a lot of chaos in the city, we can see people suffering, it looks like a battle. I think this art reflects ww1 because of all the suffering the people are going through, and also the battle that we can clearly observe in the image. I really like this picture because I think the artist really gave a clear message through this painting .

Riot in the Galleria is a Futurist oil on canvas painting created by Umberto Boccioni in 1909 who was born in Italy. Riot in the Galleria portrays wild spectators around a shocking fight between two women—thought to be prostitutes—in Milan’s famous indoor mall. Boccioni portrays this disruptive crowd outside a café,(where the prostitutes are exemplars of the ultimate commodity). Through these crowd, disruption, consumption, urban street scene touches on a theme of Futurism. This can represent society in ww1. I chose this painting because of the colors, I really like how the colors are presented since they are very bright and they combine very well. Personally there is nothing that I don't like about this painting.

Composition with Figures created by Liubov Popova in 1913.

Enter Liubov Popova — a classically trained painter, influenced by the Italian Renaissance and Russian icon painting. Liubov was 27 when she embedded herself in the radical avant guard that was developing in her home city of Moscow. She had broad a history of travel, and the intellectual clout to earn her an influential position in the new Supremus group. Together with it’s founder Kazimir Malevich, Liubov and a growing number of Supremacist artists worked to divorce art from figurative representation, and search for pure feeling.
This painting represented WW2 because you can see the chaos that was happing at that time.

Waves - creating force
created by Wenzel Hablik in 1909. In this painting we can identify waves that have a stronge power, the emotion I’m getting from this its like if they were angry. It looks like it will flood the whole village that we can see far far away in the painting. I think this painting can relate to the ww1 because of all the chaos it’s happening. I chose this painting because I liked the style the painter chose to create it

The Knife Grinder or 'Principle of Glittering' (1912-1913)by Kazimir Malevich

In the painting a violent scene could be appreciated, Well at least I do. The art work is related to the World War One because of the title and the violence presented in the work. I feel annoyed by the force of the art work but I really liked it because it really caught mu attention when I first saw it.

Woman Ironing - Pablo Picasso (1904)

This artwork shows a haggard woman who is investing all of the energy and strength that she has left into her job; ironing the clothes. It is a remarkably clear representation of life during WW1, specifically of the poor working class. Its gloomy, somber colors symbolize the struggles that these people faced on their everyday living conditions. The artist is trying to express harshness and strength with which the working class had to endure their labors, and evoke empathy in us viewers. The artwork makes me feel just that, empathy and concern for the misery that surrounded these people, and it makes me question how much of this side of the story I ignore. I liked the feeling with which it is created, the load of emotions that it carries and the crudity with which it is presented.

The name of this artwork is Space Force Construction and it is a suprematist oil on panel painting and it was created in 1921. You can see that in the painting there are only 6 colors and there are figures like half a circle and rectangles and there are lines. I like that the colors combine and that they are really simple.

The jungle by Wifredo Lam.1943
In this painting we can see a lot of figures mixed creating faces and shapes. I think that we wants to express all his feeling in only one painting because he can't express with words. It is a jungle of expressions. I think the way it reflects the impact of the WW1 is of how they couldn't express themselves. I choose this painting because at first look it caught's your attention.

Dancer - Gino Severini (1912)

In this artwork, we can identify a dancer in the middle, upside down, who is in movement or in a abstract position. This artwork may represent society in WW1 since I feel like dance symbolizes freedom, but the way in which it is portrayed shows a struggle to find that freedom, which was common at that time. Also, the rough edges and the strong colors represents the emotional and psychological distress that people were feeling because of the war. Something that the artist could also be saying is how the human being and the way it expresses itself is abstract, and has no definite shape or form, so having that freedom of expression is important for one's identity. As a dancer, I truly related to this artwork and was able to connect to the idea of freedom, of movement, of the beauty of the abstract movements. I loved that the dancer doesn't have a completely structured form and that is kind of blends with his surrounding, because that is precisely what you feel when you dance, as if everything around you worked in synthony.

Mother and Child (Nancy and Olivia) is an  Expressionist lithography print created by the American painter Alice Neel in 1982. The image is used according to educational fair use, and tagged family, mothers and children. That's why there is a woman holding a baby in her arms. This painting may represent a mother in ww1, since this may symbolize that she's afraid, as you can see in the painting. I chose this painting because of the colors that are used. The only thing that I don't like about this painting are the faces of the woman and the baby, for me they are a little weird.

The Escape Ladder (from the Constellation series), Joan Miró, Spain Barcelona, 1940, a collapse of some kind of beings in some kind of dark place, a bit of depression made him lack bright colors, the artist wanted to tell us a maturity with what is happening and show that time, I chose him because he is my favorite artist, he makes me feel reflective about what it would be like to be in that work, I liked the blue and red color it has more, I liked the dark background less.

Untitled 1964 (Eduardo Kingman)

This piece shows a person covering his/her face with their closed hands, giving the impression of experiencing suffering and trying to hide it. The artists evokes deep suffering through this artwork as well as how this distress wasn't allowed or capable to be shared, this must represent how people that suffered from WW1 side effects were forces to keep their ache to themselves.
I chose this artwork because the fact that the subject isn't showing its face attracted my attention as well as how detailed the closed hands are compared to the rest of the piece.

In Memoriam Karl Liebknecht 1920 (Käthe Kollwitz)

In this painting the artist through pencil and paper presents an image of people mourning someone. This must be the artists way to evoke the several loses that were suffered thanks to the war as well as the suffering of their loved ones.
I chose this piece because firstly I have an admiration for this artist's work seeing as I love how he works with only pencil and paper without the need of several colors but still convey a strong message, this artwork caught my attention because of the several expressions that are portrayed and how they are all showed sad or emotionless as well as how it is used as a tribute to the lost lives of WW1.

Creating the World 1922(Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz)

In the artwork there are several elements painted in an abstract way. It presents Stanisław's perspective on how the world functioned through the war seeing as there is chaos and distress in the subjects drawn.

Puberty- Edvard Munch (1895)

In this painting we can see a girl who seems kind of ashamed of her body, of how it is changing. This may also represent sexual opression and not being able to express one's sexuality freely. This represents society during WW1 since it was a time when perceptions on sexuality had started to change and it was a very taboo topic, so it was extremely controversial and unaccepted. The artist is trying to say that (young) people were struggling with freely expressing their identities and feeling opressed by society's standards. I chose this artwork because it had a powerful impact on me, since I feel like it represents lots of things regarding sexuality it is still relevant nowadays. I really liked that it is a pretty transparent work and doesn't try to hide a reality.

Giving Art a Cheerful Middle Finger 1919 (Marcel Duchamp from France)

This painting is trying to say that people take art too seriously and that they should have more fun with it while expressing themselves instead of treating it as such a big deal. This probably is referring mostly to the early paintings that were coming during the war, and Marcel probably wanted to give the message that they should do their best to promote happiness.

The Never Ending Scream 1952(Francis Bacon from Ireland)

This painting is trying to say about how the war was constant suffering for all parties involved and how the screams never seemed to end. The art piece makes me feel like war is nothing but suffering and that screams never end when it comes to war. I like the message behind the art and the name of it, but I do not like the art style that it takes on.

Look at Me 1942 (Irma Stern from South Africa0

This painting is trying to say that many people and especially women’s necessities were overlooked during WW1, while the government instead focused on the war.

Artist: Carlo Carra
The drunken Gentleman in 1916.
This painting is trying to represent a man which is drunk but we can see by his face that he is sad too. I think it represents the impacts of the WWI because of how a lot of people lost everything and they hide their feelings and stuff with alcohol. I chose this painting because of the name of the painting because I liked the way it was name because it is a type of painting that if you don't know the name you could never give it a sense to it but when you know the name you can create the story.

It is related with ww1 because in many places in the word because of the ww1 they were destroyed. I chose this picture because I really like it. I think that it is very unique and different.

Personally there's nothing that I don't like.

Artist: Giorgio de Chirico born from an Italian family living in Greece.
Enchanted space in the city of Nietzsche, 1913.
This painting shows the loneliness of the streets. It also shows the unconscious and nonsensical which he aspired.
I choose it because it makes me feel a feeling of serenity and loneliness. The thing that I liked the most about this painting is the way the sculpture and the buildings are organized and how the persons at the back look so meaningless there that you can even forget that they are there.

The painting is from

Antonio Sant'Elia, he was born in Como, Italy.

This painting was made in 1914. The painting is about a futuristic building, and it looks more like a design or sketch. The painting is related to the WW1 because in that age people were futuristic because of the impacts of war. Every country tried to look into the future to have more technological advances. I chose it because I liked the relationship of that painting with the actual buildings.
