Art Movements

Over the years art in general has changed dramatically.





Beginning with modernism in the late 19th century which led to movements such as Post-Impressionism (1870 - 1880), Art Nouveau (1890 - 1910) and Symbolism (1750 - 1890), and then the first twentieth-century art movement of Fauvism.








Fauvism (1900 -1910) Introduced 'heightened non-representational colour into figurative painting.











Cubism (1900 - 1920) Introduced multiple perspectives into a two-dimensional image. The most well known cubist artists were Picasso, Braque, Metzinger and Gleizes... as well as others. 









Futurism (1910 - 1920) incorporated the depiction of movement and machine age imagery.









Dadaism (1916 - 1923), had artists rejecting art styles altogether by exhibiting found objects, notably a urinal.











Pop Art (1950 - Present Day) Began in the 50's but really took off in the 60's. A lot of themes from Pop Art are inspired by adverts and comic books.








Internet Art (1970 - Present Day) With technology improving everyday, computers and the internet has substantially changed what artists can accomplish. The art is digital and can even be interactive and goes against conventional ideas.
