| Abstract: |
The 20th Century Begins: The Concept of the Metropolis. Architecture and the City: From the urban planning proposals of the 19th century to the political consequences of horizontal property ownership. Urbanization—the concentration of the population in major urban centers—reflects a new distribution of capital and the hope for a better position within the social hierarchy. By the late 19th century, the city had become a place of spectacle and display, as well as a center for capital accumulation. The Fauves opposed the Impressionist focus on the fleeting and the momentary, turning instead toward a form of painting that sought to express what is stable and unchanging in nature. They liberated color from faithful representation—trees could be red and the sea yellow—exercising a freedom that was neither chaotic nor naive.
