IMPRESSIONISM Short brisk strokes of bright Colors used to recreate the impression of light on objects.

The European artists who were the forefront of this movement continued using the basic qualities of the impressionism such as the vivid colors, heavy brush strokes, and true-to-life subjects. However, they expanded with bold new ways like using geometric approach, fragmenting objects, and distorting people’s faces and body parts, and applying colors that were not necessarily realistic or natural. 5 II. EXPRESSIONISM Natural forms and colors are distorted and exaggerated. Heavy black lines, strong colors INSPIRATION TECHNIQUE COLOR ORIGIN/ARTISTS Subjective (based on Natural forms Heavy black Developed in feelings or opinions) and colors are lines, strong Europe early treatment of thematic distorted and colors that 1900s materials exaggerated define form, Franz Marc sharply Pablo Picasso contrasting Henri Matisse Gives visual form to Edward Munch inner sensations or emotions: morbidity (incidence of disease), violence, chaos, tragedy and defeat) SUB-MOVEMENTS OF EXPRESSIONISM A. NEOPRIMITIVISM was an art style that incorporated elements from the native arts of the South Sea Islanders and the wood carvings of African tribes which suddenly became popular at that time. Among the Western artists who adapted these elements was Amedeo Modigliani, who used the oval faces and elongated shapes of African art in both his sculptures and paintings.

FAUVISM was a style that used bold, vibrant colors and visual distortions. Its name was derived from les fauves (“wild beasts”), referring to the group of French expressionist painters who painted in this style. Perhaps the most known among them was Henri Matisse. Highly fashionable, bold use of color, play use of lines and colors. Blue Window Henri Matisse, 1911 Oil on canvas 6 C. DADAISM was a style characterized by dream fantasies, memory images, and visual tricks and surprises—as in the paintings of Marc Chagall and Giorgio de Chirico below. Anti-art, anti-war, had political affinities with the radical left and was also anti-bourgeois (capitalist). I and the Village Marc Chagall, 1911 Oil on canvas D. SURREALISM was a style that depicted an illogical, subconscious dream world beyond the logical, conscious, physical one. Its name came from the term “super realism,” with its artworks clearly expressing a departure from reality—as though the artists were dreaming, seeing illusions, or experiencing an altered mental state. Artists painted unnerving, illogical scenes with photographic precision, created strange creatures from everyday objects and developed painting techniques that allowed the unconscious to express itself. Persistence of Memory Salvador Dali, 1931 Oil on canvas E. SOCIAL REALISM expressed the artist’s role in social reform. Here, artists used their works to protest against the injustices, inequalities, immorality, and ugliness of the human condition. In different periods of history, social realists have addressed different issues: war, poverty, corruption, industrial and environmental hazards, and more—in the hope of raising people’s awareness and pushing society to seek reforms. Draw attention to the everyday conditions of the working classes and the poor, and who are critical of the social structures that maintain these conditions Miners’ Wives Ben Shahn, 1948 Egg tempera on board 7 III.

SUB-MOVEMENT OF ABSTRACTIONISM A. CUBISM highly influential visual arts style of the 20th century that was created principally by the artists Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque in Paris between 1907 and 1914. The Cubist style emphasized the flat, two-dimensional surface of the picture plane, rejecting the traditional techniques of perspective, foreshortening, modelling, and chiaroscuro and refuting time-honoured theories that art should imitate nature. Cubist painters were not bound to copying form, texture, colour, and space. Instead, they presented a new reality in paintings that depicted radically fragmented objects. Three Musicians Pablo Picasso, 1921 Oil on canvas B. FUTURISM Italian Futurismo, Russian Futurism, early 20th-century artistic movement centred in Italy that emphasized the dynamism, speed, energy, and power of the machine and the vitality, change, and restlessness of modern life. During the second decade of the 20th century, the movement’s influence radiated outward across most of Europe, most significantly to the Russian avant-garde. The most-significant results of the movement were in the visual arts and poetry. Armored Train Gino Severini, 1915 Oil on canvas 8 C. MECHANICAL STYLE the result of futurist movement. In this style, basic forms such as planes, cones, spheres and cylinders all fit together perfectly and precisely with neatness in their appointed places. The City Fernand Léger, 1919 Oil on canvas NONOBJECTIVISM The logical geometrical conclusion of abstractionism came in the style known as nonobjectivism. From the very term “non-object,” works in this style did not make use of figures or even representations of figures. They did not refer to recognizable objects
