    Modern Art - ARG


    Instructions: Compare and contrast the following art styles.
    Impressionism, Expressionism, Pointillism, Art Nouveau, Fauvism, Surrealism, Cubism, De Stijl,
    Suprematism, Dadaism, Ready Made Art, Color Field painting, Pop Art, and Op Art.

    • Impressionism tried to capture the impression or the momentary effect of a scene. While
    Expressionism presented the exaggerated and distorted emotions through art.

    • Art Nouveau is the Poster-like paintings where subjects are usually women for advertisement
    and is characterized by its use of a long, sinuous, organic line and was employed most often in
    architecture, interior design, jewelry and glass design, posters, and illustration. While Pointillism
    is a technique of painting in which small, distinct dots of color are applied in patterns to form an
    image.

    • Fauvism started in the 1900’s and is characterized by using strong colors or bright colors and
    fierce brushworks. While Surrealism aims to revolutionize human experience and is a cultural
    movement that developed in Europe in the aftermath of World War I in which artists depicted
    unnerving, illogical scenes and developed techniques to allow the unconscious mind to express
    itself.

    • Cubism is a revolutionary new approach to representing reality and uses geometrical shapes.
    While De Stijl, also known as Neoplasticism, was a famous modern art form that valued
    abstraction and simplicity and it represented subjectivity not objects, it uses rectilinear shapes
    and primary colors.

    • Suprematism founded in 1915 focused on the fundamentals of geometry, painted in a limited


    range of colors. While Dadaism is an anti-art movement in which the artist's main purpose is to
    recreate an art and make it uglier, for example putting a mustache on a famous painting like
    Mona Lisa painted by Leonardo da Vinci.

    • Ready Made Art flourished in 1920's and was first used by French artist Marcel Duchamp to
    describe the works of art he made from manufactured objects like ordinary objects are put in
    the context of art by the artist's authority and power play. While Color Field Painting is a style of
    abstract painting that emerged in New York City during the 1940s and 1950s and is also
    characterized primarily by large fields of flat, solid color spread across or stained into the canvas
    creating areas of unbroken surface and a flat picture plane.

    • Pop art is an art movement that emerged in the 1950s and flourished in the 1960s in America
    and Britain, drawing inspiration from sources in popular and commercial culture. While Op Art
    or Optical Art begin at 1960's, the word optical is used to describe things that relate to how we
    see and Op art works in a similar way which Artists use shapes, colors and patterns in special
    ways to create images that look as if they are moving or blurring.
