REALISM – IMPRESSIONISM – ABSTRACT ART – CUBISM – SURREALISM – EXPRESSIONISM – MODERNISM

Use of perspective, depth, space -- emphasis on the brushwork and the pigments - intention to capture light, vibrancy of
colours – looks realistic but unfinished - unrealistic colors chosen to depict life as it feels or appears to the artist --- convey
the grotesque and horror in everyday life --– intention to the essence of a subject as the artist interprets it, rather than the
visible details --- dominant colors, shapes, or patterns, sharp lines and angles, - the intention to release the creative potential of
the mind, by irrational juxtaposition of images --- radical way of thinking by the artists of modern day and age, with no
boundaries holding their creative
expression back.
