Featured Fine Art Movements
Impressionism got its name from a painting by Claude Monet, titled Sunrise, Impression. The Impressionists were a group of artists in Paris, starting around 1860, who rebelled against the academic art of their day. Principal Impressionist artists include Claude Monet, Pierre Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas, Edouard Manet, Mary Cassatt, and Camille Pissaro. The term is also often used to describe artists who were directly influenced by the original Impressionists and who paint in an impressionistic manner.
Post-Impressionism is essentially a continuation of the Impressionism movement, but with a greater emphasis on color theory, structure, and expression. Principal Post-Impressionist artists include Vincent Van Gogh, Paul Cezanne, Paul Gauguin, and Henri Toulouse-Lautrec. Neo-Impressionism (or Pointillism) is generally included in the Post-Impressionist movement, with Georges Seurat and Paul Signac as the most important painters in that style.
Pop Art is a late 20th century art movement that originated in New York City, reflecting the power of popular culture and commercial advertising to reshape life and society. Principal members include Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, and Jim Dine. Pop Art evolved from the earlier Dadaism movement (and has even been called Neo-Dadaism). Related art movements include Op Art, Photo-Realism, and Conceptual Art.
Surrealism is a 20th century literary and art movement that evolved from the earlier Symbolist and Dada art movements under the influence of the pyschological theories of Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, attempting to depict the inner, or dream world, as being more real (or "surreal") than the material world of our everyday sensations. In this sense, Surrealism is a kind of inverted Impressionism. Principal members include Salvador Dali, Rene Magritte, M.C. Escher, Joan Miro, Max Ernst, and Alberto Giacometti.
Art Nouveau (or "New Art") is a multi-disciplinary art movement encompassing art, architecture, and design originating in Paris and Vienna in the late 19th early 20th centuries, but which quickly became an international art movement. Art Nouveau is characterized by the use of flowing and undulating curves and floral- and plant-inspired forms. Principal Art Nouveau artists include Gustav Klimt, Alphonse Mucha, Aubrey Beardsley, Koloman Moser, Louis Tiffany, and Charles Mackintosh.
Realism as applied to the visual arts was coined by the French Realist painter Gustav Courbet in the mid-19th century. French Realism was a reaction against the anti-naturalistic tendencies of Neo-Classicism and Romanticism. American Realism is exemplified by Winslow Homer, Thomas Eakins, and Edward Hopper. Realism is the first Modern art movement, signaling a shift from "court and country" to a city-based art market proffering culture to the rising bourgeoise.
Expressionism is not the name of a particular art movement, but a characteristic shared by several art movements, including Fauvism, German Expressionism, the Blue Rider school, the Die Brucke school, and the School of Paris, tending to emphasize the emotional over mere visual depiction, by distorting natural shapes, forms, or colors. Some important artists who painted in an expressionistic style include Raoul Dufy, Marc Chagall, Wassily Kandinsky, and Egon Schiele. Expressionist artists were influenced by Vincent Van Gogh and Post-Impressionism.
Old Masters refers to art movements from the end of the Middle Ages to the beginning of the Modern Era, including Early Renaissance, the High Renaissance, the Northern Renaissance, Mannerism, Baroque Art, Rococo Art, Neo-Classicism, and Romanticism. Some principal "old master" artists include Sandro Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo Buonarroti, Peter Paul Rubens, Rembrandt van Rijn, and Jan Vermeer.
