Modernist Fragmentation
One of the most distinctive characteristics of modernist art from the first half of the twentieth century is the use of fragmentation. Elements and narratives are fragmented; even the perception of reality is sometimes broken up into smaller pieces, then reassembled, to make something new. Choose any work from Chapter 21 ( Virginia Woolf, Picasso: Les Demoiselles D’Avignon, Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler, Three Musicians, Fontainebleau) and describe how it exemplifies this type of modernist fragmentation.
