Impressionism
Cubism
Answer
The poems of French Symbolist poet Stéphane Mallarmé were an important influence on the development of Cubism, a major movement in early 20th-century painting. Cubist artists were drawn to Mallarmé's use of language to create a sense of ambiguity and mystery, and his exploration of the relationship between words and images.
