a. Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity

Explanation: Einstein’s ideas about space, time and simultaneity (special relativity, 1905; general relativity, 1915) influenced avant‑garde artists who were rethinking how to represent reality. Cubists, Futurists and other modernists explored multiple viewpoints, motion and the collapse of linear time in works by Picasso, Duchamp, Boccioni and others. The phonograph (1877) affected music and sound reproduction more than the visual arts of that modernist period.
