These sources discuss artistic movements and trends, with a focus on Cubism's influence on modern interior design and graphic design. One text details how contemporary Cubism, or Neo-Cubism, incorporates digital elements and dynamic, colorful palettes for a modern aesthetic. Another analyzes the impact of Cubist painting on contemporary graphic design, highlighting the use of fragmented forms and spatial techniques. The final, and most extensive, source explores the contemporary relevance of "split portraiture," examining how multi-panel works by artists like Francis Bacon and Marlene Dumas engage viewers differently and reflect the complexities of modern subjectivity, including themes of fragmentation and aggression, often through a Lacanian lens.
