Art Movements - Year 1

Art Nouveau - 

This type of art was most popular during 1890-1910. Art Nouveau is considered a "total" art style. This type of art includes fine art, graphic art, interior design and decorative art. This includes things like jewellery, furniture, household silver, etc. Although Art Nouveau was replaced with 20th-century modernist styles, it is now considered as a important translation between the eclectic historic revival styles of the 19th-century and modernism. 

Alphonse Mucha 

Alphonse Mucha was a Czech painter, designer and illustrator commonly associated with the Art Nouveau movement. Although largely forgotten in the annals of decorative art, Mucha is perhaps best known for his

outspoken Slavic nationalism.

Abstract Expressionism - 

Abstract expressionism is a post World War II art movement in American painting, developed in New York in the 1940s. It was the first specifically American movement to achieve international influence and put New York City at the center of the western art world, a role formerly filled by Paris.

Joan Mitchell 

Joan Mitchell was a "second generation" abstract expressionist painter and printmaker. She was an essential member of the American Abstract expressionist movement, even though much of her career took place in France.

Expressionism -

Expressionism was a modernist movement, initially in poetry and painting, originating in Germany at the beginning of the 20th century. Its typical trait is to present the world solely from a subjective perspective, distorting it radically for emotional effect in order to evoke moods or ideas.

Robert Delaunay

Robert Delaunay was a French artist who, with his wife Sonia Delaunay and others, cofounded the Orphism art movement, noted for its use of strong colours and geometric shapes. His later works were more abstract, reminiscent of Paul Klee.

Modernism - 

Modernism, in general, includes the activities and creations of those who felt the traditional forms of art, architecture, literature, religious faith, philosophy, social organization, activities of daily life, and even the sciences, were becoming ill-fitted to their tasks and outdated in the new economic, social, and political environment of an emerging fully industrialized world. 

Charles Arnoldi

Charles Arnoldi also known as Chuck Arnoldi and as Charles Arthur Arnoldi is an American painter, sculptor and printmaker.

Urban Art - 

Urban art is a style of art that relates to cities and city life often done by artists who live in or have a passion for city life. In that way urban art combines street art and graffiti and is often used to summarize all visual art forms arising in urban areas, being inspired by urban architecture or thematizing urban live style.

Dolk 

Dolk is known for Norway's most recognized graffiti artist. His motives are often pop-cultural references put into a humoristic or critical context. Dolks works can be seen at walls in cities like Bergan, Berlin, Copenhagen, Barcelona, Oslo, Lisbon, Stockholm, London, Prague and Melbourne. Since 2006 Dolk has stepped into galleries where he has had several exhibitions.

Dada or Dadaism was an art movement of the European avant-grade in the early 20th century. Dada in Zurich, Switzerland, began in 1916, spreading to Berlin shortly thereafter, but the height of New York DADA was the year before, in 1915. The term anti-art, a precursor to Dada, was coined by Marcel Duchamp around 1913.

Surrealism - 

Surrealism is a cultural movement that began in the early 1920s, and is best known for its visual artworks and writings. The aim was to "resolve the previously contradictory conditions of dream and reality." Artists painted unnerving, illogical scenes with photographic precision, created strange creatures from everyday objects and developed painting techniques that allowed the unconscious to express itself and/or an idea/concept.

Pablo Picasso - 

Picasso dominated European painting in the first half of the last century, and remains perhaps the century's most important, prolifically inventive, and versatile artist. Alongside Georges Braque, he pioneered Cubism. He also made significant contributions to Surrealist painting and media such as collage, welded sculpture, and ceramics.
