100 Years Of Art Movements


Art Nouveau (1890 - 1910) : 

An especially decorative style of art and architecture.









 
Fauvism (1900 -1910): 
A style of art using vibrant colours, visible brush strokes, giving the pieces the name fauves meaning ("wild beasts"), This term was then applied to the artists themselves.

Cubism (1900-1920):
One of the most commonly known movements of art. Featuring some very well known artists like Picasso.
Futurism (1910-1920):

The futurist artists embraced the themes of speed, noise, machines, pollution, and cities etc. they tried to incorporate movement into their images.

 


Dadaism (1916 - 1923): 
This movement was probably the most controversial one art has ever experienced. Because all art featured was... not art. The whole point of this strange movement was to challenge what could be seen as art and what couldn't. And to prove that nothing couldn't be art.





Pop Art (1950 -Today): 
 Pop art is again one of the most known art movements of the last 100 years. It focused mainly around popular culture like advertising and comic books. Although it was first seen in the 50's it hit its peak popularity in the 60's. Notable artists of this style are Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenistein.


 




Digital Art (1970 - Today):
Digital art/Computer art is any work that has aspects of it done on the computer/internet/etc.  The limits to digital art are practically endless and has completely revolutionized the world of art.
