Modernism 1912-1950 ‘Simultaneous and Successive Depiction’ |
Revision of competing styles to abstraction. Re-defines Cubism, as pre-Modernism, rejects label of ‘Synthetic Cubism’ for ‘Overstyle’, and redefines rival trend as ‘Rerealism’ (ignores Surrealism).

Globalism 1985 - 2000 |
All three strands, more concrete depiction, abstraction, and works of expanded materials are now traced within an open or incomplete period up until 2000. The shift from Conceptual Art to institutional sampling in expanded materials, the shift from basic pattern to more complex versions and layout in abstraction, the shift from Neo-Expressionism and allegory to broader genres are all shown to share crucial synchrony in a Globalist period.
