Really, it's pure magic...

X

Y

Z

The term A was originally coined by X to refer to a rising art form known as the New Objectivity. Soon its application transcended just painting, and it became more closely associated with another form of art thanks to Y, who is deemed as the original exponent of this art. Z is one of the most famous exponents of this art. What am I talking about?

This is just fabulous!



This painting Y by X had spawned a famous art movement Z.  X used vividly contrasting colours as early as 1899 and came to realize the potential of colour freed from its traditional descriptive role when he painted with Signac in the bright light of Saint Tropez in the summer of 1904 and with Derain at Collioure in the summer of 1905. When this painting was first exhibited, it earned the wrath of many art-critics, with one going on to say  "A pot of paint has been flung in the face of the public." A certain critic exclaimed after seeing the painting-"Donatello among the wild beasts!" This comment may have been partly induced by another painting (by a different artist) which was being exhibited near Y:






However this comment lent the art form its name, and now this art has become a cult phenomenon. Identify X,Y and Z.
