    ABSTRACTIONISM

    Expressionism was an early 20th century art movement in which artists distorted forms and applied vivid colors to achieve emotional force over naturalism. Expressionists worked from their imagination rather than directly from observation. Related movements included Fauvism's bold colors, Dadaism's dreamlike imagery, Surrealism's subconscious dream worlds, Cubism's geometric fragmentation, Futurism's celebration of machines, and total abstraction in styles like Nonobjectivism that used only basic geometric shapes. These movements freed art from realistic representation and emphasized subjective experience and raw emotion.

    EXPRESSIONISM

    A movement arose in the Western art world


    that came to be known as Expressionism.
    Expressionist artist created works with more
    emotional force, rather than with realistic or
    natural images. To achieve this, they distorted
    outlines, applied strong colors and
    exaggerated forms.. They worked more with
    their imagination and feelings, rather than with
    what their eyes saw in the physical world.

    Surrealism
    Was a style that depicted an illogical,
    subconscious dream world that seemed to
    exist beyond the logical , conscious, physical

    departure from reality—as though the artists
    were dreaming, seeing illusions, or

    Cubism
    The style derived its name from the
    cube, a three-dimensional geometric

    angles on a flat surface.

    and strength of mechanical forms.

    Gino Severini, 1915
    Oil on canvas

    planes, cones, spheres, and
    cylinders all fit together precisely
    and nearly in their appointed places.
    The City
    Fernand Leger,
    1919
    Oil on canvas
    Nonobjectivism
    The logical geometrical conclusion
    of abstractionism came in the style.
    From the very term “non-object,”
    works in this style did not make use
    of figures or even representations of
    figures.
