Realism
This anti-Romantic development paved the way for Realism in art, which sought to embrace the aims of modernism through reexamining and overthrowing traditional values and beliefs within society. Within the mid-19th century, Realism focused on how life was socially, economically, politically, and culturally arranged. This led to unwavering and often horrible portrayals of life and its unpleasant but raw moments.

Post-Impressionism
This involved an added emotional or spiritual dimension in which the artwork acted as a portal into a deeper experience of being human. This can be contrasted to art as a realistic or objective portrayal of reality as it is perceived by the senses independently of any kind of subjective filter or lens. By integrating these added dimensions into art, this highly influential movement became a vehicle through which the subjective interpretation of life through the artist’s eyes was allowed expression.

Dadaism is one of the most unconventional and Avante-Garde art and cultural movements of the 20th century. Prompted by the European social climate following the First World War, Dadaism rejected wartime politics, bourgeois culture, and capitalist economic system. The name Dada has various meanings in different languages like hobby horse, but also no meaning.

Its ground-breaking attempt to cut through the pre-existing norms of the time spread to Europe and the USA in the 1920s and 1930s.

De Stijl
Like many other avant-garde art movements at the time, De Stijl was a reaction against the horrors of World War I. It was utopian in nature in the sense that the members of De Stijl believed art to have a transformative power. For them, art was a means towards social and spiritual redemption.

Installation Art
From the 1960s the creation of installations has become a major strand in modern art. This was increasingly the case from the early 1990s when the ‘crash’ of the art market in the late 1980s led to a reawakening of interest in conceptual art (art focused on ideas rather than objects). Miscellaneous materials (mixed media), light and sound have remained fundamental to installation art.
