The new movement used to describe the works of the Delaunay’s was called…

Lizette Fernandez de Lara For the cover of Marilyn Stokstad’s latest edition art history textbook, I would choose Gustave Caillebotte’s painting: Paris, Rainy Day.

These shapes are outlined in darker colors that contrast with the colors of what is behind them. There are two figures sitting side by side in…
