Electronic Media , The Rebirth of Perspective and the Fragmentation of Illusion

In the first decades of the twentieth century a number of famous artists abandoned traditional spatial techniques and experimented with new forms of art: cubism, expressionism, abstract expressionism. Some critics believed that these experiments heralded a new period of non-figurative art. For instance, Novotny claimed that scientific perspective had ended with Cezanne. Arnason, in his standard history of modern art, spread this view that perspective had died in the early twentieth century.
