Art Movements
Art movements are styles or trends in art that are followed by a group of artists during a specific period of time, often as a reaction to cultural, political, or social conditions. These movements usually share a common philosophy, goal, or approach to creating art, and they often emerge as a response to or rebellion against earlier styles
Here are a few well-known art movements:
Renaissance (14th–17th century) – Focused on realism, perspective, and human anatomy; artists include Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo.
Baroque (17th century) – Characterized by drama, movement, and grandeur; artists include Caravaggio and Rembrandt.
Impressionism (late 19th century) – Focused on capturing light and everyday scenes; artists include Claude Monet and Edgar Degas.
Surrealism (1920s–1950s) – Explored dreams, the unconscious mind, and irrational imagery; artists include Salvador Dalí and René Magritte.
Cubism (early 20th century) – Broke objects into geometric shapes and multiple perspectives; pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque.
Abstract Expressionism (1940s–1950s) – Emphasized spontaneous, emotional expression; artists include Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko.
