multi exposure ii

One of the most direct influences of relativity on art can be seen in the work of Cubist painters like Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. Cubism was a revolutionary movement that departed from traditional three-dimensional representations. Instead, Cubist painters depicted objects from multiple perspectives simultaneously, creating fragmented and distorted images that echoed the new understanding of space and time introduced by relativity. 

This movement drew inspiration from Einstein's theory of relativity and the concept of traveling at the speed of light, allowing the simultaneous observation of different facets of the same object, much like the various sides of a cube. Multi-exposure photography takes this concept further, drawing inspiration from artists like Picasso, Henry Moore, Francis Bacon, and Modigliani, encompassing diverse aspects of 20th-century art. 

Relativity also left its mark on the development of abstract art.
Artists like Wassily Kandinsky and Kazimir Malevich explored the non-representational aspects of painting and saw relativity as a validation of their belief that art could be a purely subjective experience.
