Preface

Can you imagine a bicycle in the form of a wooden scooter without pedals, but with a saddle and handlebars? Or a bicycle integrated into an intelligent transport system, communicating with every type of transport in real time and even removing scratches from its own frame?

These notes explore the bicycle’s 200-year history and its reflection in painting.

Abstract:

The second part of the notes “Evolution of the Bicycle” explores how the image of the bicycle is reflected in world art from the late 19th to the early 21st century. Through the prism of cubism, futurism, art brut, and neo-impressionism (Metzinger, Casas, Goncharova, Dubuffet, de Kooning, Wall), the author investigates the evolution of painting, complementing art history analysis with personal memories and fascinating historical facts.
