 In all of human history, art has mirrored life in the community,
society, and the world in all its colors, lines, shapes, and forms. The
same has been true in the last two centuries, with world events
and global trends being reflected in the art movements.

The decades from 1900 to the present have seen the human
race living in an ever shrinking planet. The 20th century saw a
boom in the interchange of ideas, beliefs, values, and lifestyles
that continues to bring the citizens of the world closer together.

 Technological breakthroughs
 Social, Political and environmental changes
 Impressionism was an art movement that emerged in the
second half of the 19th century among a group of Paris-
based artists.
 The duration of the impressionist movement itself was
quite short, less than 20 years from 1872 to the mid-1880s.
But it had a tremendous impact and influence on the
painting styles that followed, such as neo-impressionism,
post-impressionism, fauvism, and cubism—and even the
artistic styles and movements of today.
 The name impressionism was coined from the title of a
work by French painter Claude Monet, Impression, soleil
levant (in English, Impression, Sunrise).

 The term precisely captured what this group
of artists sought to represent in their works:
the viewer’s momentary “impression” of an
image. It was not intended to be clear or
precise, but more like a fleeting fragment of
reality caught on canvas, sometimes in mid-
motion, at other times awkwardly
positioned—just as it would be in real life.
 As with all emerging art movements,
impressionism owed its inspiration to earlier
masters. One major influence was the work of
French painter Eugène Delacroix.
 Delacroix was greatly admired and emulated by
the early impressionists—specifically for his use
of expressive brushstrokes, his emphasis on
movement rather than on clarity of form, and
most of all his study of the optical effects of
color.
 French art into one of its richest periods:
impressionism.
 In particular,
Delacroix’s painting,
The Barque of Dante,
contained a then
revolutionary
technique that
would profoundly
influence the
coming
impressionist
movement.

 And it involved
something as simple
as droplets of water.
1. Color and Light
-painting with freely brushed colors conveyed more of a
visual effect
-broken strokes (intentionally made)
2. “Everyday” Subjects
-capturing scenes of life around them, household objects,
landscapes and seascapes, houses and buildings.
3. Painting Outdoors
4. Open Composition – experimented unusual visual
angles, off-center placement, lacks of proportion and
empty spaces on the canvas
Edouard Manet (1832-1883)
- was one of the first 19th century artists to
depict modern-life subjects. He was a key
figure in the transition from realism to
impressionism, with a number of his works
considered as marking the birth of modern
art.

Claude Monet (1840-1926)
 was one of the founders of the impressionist
movement along with his friends Auguste
Renoir, Alfred Sisley, and Frederic Brazille.
 He was the most prominent of the group; and is
considered the most influential figure in the
movement. Monet is the best known for his
landscape paintings, particularly those depicting
his beloved flower gardens and water lily ponds
at his home Giverny.
Auguste Renoir (1814-1919), along with Claude
Monet was one of the central figures of the
impressionist movement. His early works
were snapshots of real life, full of sparkling
color and light. By the mid-1880s, however,
Renoir broke away from the impressionist
movement to apply a more disciplined,
formal technique to portraits of actual people
and figure paintings.

 After the brief yet highly influential period of
impressionism, an outgrowth movement known as
post-impressionism emerged.
 The European artists who were at the forefront of this
movement continued using the basic qualities of the
impressionists before them—the vivid colors, heavy
brush strokes, and true-to-life subjects.
 However, they expanded and experimented with
these in bold new ways, like using a geometric
approach, fragmenting objects and distorting
people’s faces and body parts, and applying colors
that were not necessarily realistic or natural.
Paul Cezanne (1839-1906) was a French artist
and post-impressionist painter.
 His work exemplified the transition from the
late 19th century impressionism to a new and
radically different world of art in the 20th
century – paving the way for the next
revolutionary art movement known as
expressionism.

Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) was a post-
impressionist painter from The Netherlands.
 His works were remarkable for their strong,
heavy brush strokes, intense emotions, and
colors that appeared to almost pulsate with
energy.
 Van Gogh’s striking style was to have a far-
reaching influence on 20th century art, with
his works becoming among the most
recognized in the world.

 1. Think for a subject you are going to draw,
using pencil or light colors.
Subject should be common, like daily routine
or work, places, environment or surroundings.
2. Start to sketch and draw your idea
with the composition you like.
In the early 1900s, there arose in the
Western art world a movement that came to
be known as expressionism.
 Expressionist artists 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.
 Use of dark and vivid colors.
 More on artist's expression.
 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.
 Was a style that used bold, vibrant colors
and visual distortions.
 Derived from les fauves (“wild beasts”)
 Henri Matisse was the most known among
the group French artist.
 (Free hand painting)
 Dadaism was a style characterized by dream
fantasies, memory images, and visual tricks
and surprises the movement arose from the
pain that a group of European artists felt after
the suffering brought by World War I.
 Wishing to protest against the civilization that
had brought on such horrors, these artists
rebelled against established norms and
authorities, and against the traditional styles
in art.
 They chose the child’s term for hobbyhorse,
dada, to refer to their new “non-style.”
 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.
 The movement known as 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.
 The abstractionist movement arose from the
intellectual points of view in the 20th century.

 This intellectualism was reflected even in art.

 Abstractionism was logical and rational.

 It involved analyzing, detaching, selecting,

and simplifying.
• The cubist style derived its name from the
cube, a three dimensional geometric figure
composed of strictly measured lines, planes,
and angles.
• The main proponent of Cubism is Pablo
Picasso.
 In earlier styles, subjects were depicted in a
three-dimensional manner, formed by light
and shadow.

• The result was the establishment of what came
to be known as “The New York School”—as
opposed to “The School of Paris” that had
been very influential in Europe.
• The daring young artists in this movement
succeeded in creating their own synthesis of
Europe’s cubist and surrealist styles.
• Their style came to be known as abstract
expressionism.

 It refers to a style grounded in consumer
culture, the mass media, and popular culture,
thereby making it much more accessible to
the average person.
 The name Pop Art is short popular art.
 The prominent artist/figure are Andy
Warhol (Commercial artist and illustrator)
and Roy Lichtenstein.

Roy Lichtenstein another well known pop artist, his works
are more on comic strip images, as a mainstay of American
culture.
 This emerged in the 1960’s as Optical Art or
Op Art.
 This is a another experiment in visual
experience—a form of “action painting,” with
the action taking place in the viewer’s eye. In
op art, lines, spaces, and colors were precisely
planned and positioned to give the illusion of
movement.

• As the term implies, conceptual art was
that which arose in the mind of the artist,
took concrete form for a time, and then
disappeared.
• Conceptual Artists asserted that the
“artfulness” of art lies in the artist’s idea,
rather than in its final expression.

same chair and an enlarged copy of a dictionary
definition of a chair.
• Installation art is a contemporary art form
that uses sculptural materials and other
media to modify the way the viewer
experiences a particular space.
• Usually life size or sometimes even larger,
installation art is not necessarily confined to
gallery spaces.
• It can be constructed or positioned in
everyday public or private spaces, both
indoor and outdoor.

• Performance art is a form of modern art in
which the actions of an individual or a group
at a particular place and in a particular time
constitute the work.
• It can happen anywhere, at any time, or for
any length of time. It can be any situation
that involves four basic elements: time, space,
the performer’s body, a relationship between
performer and audience.
