Apollinaire coined which term in 1912 to describe a certain art movement?

  • Dadaism

  • Orphism

  • Vorticism

  • Synchronism

Answer

Orphism, coined by Apollinaire in 1912, was an art movement that emerged as a response to Cubism. Unlike Cubism's analytical deconstruction of form, Orphism emphasized the lyrical and intuitive use of color and shape to create a sense of rhythm and movement. This movement aimed to evoke emotions and sensations through the interactions and relationships of pure abstract elements.
