1300-1500

Mannerism

(1520-1600)

The Mannerism style was almost a “rebirth” of all that was explored and discovered in art (to the point of perfection) during the Renaissance period.

1600 – 1725

1720 – 1760

1800 – 1850

Neo-classicism

(1770 – 1840)

Jacques-Louis David

1770 – 1840

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.

Des Glaneuses (‘The Gleaners’, 1857) by Jean-François Millet; Jean-François Millet

Nighthawks (1942) by Edward Hopper

Les Casseurs de Pierres (‘The Stone Breakers’, 1849) by Gustave Courbet; Gustave Courbet

1840 – 1870

The Impressionist style has loose brushwork, a lack of transition colors, and a sense of impermanence. In this article, we take a deep dive into the style, artists, and concepts integral to the Impressionist movement.

Impressione, Levar del Sole (‘Impression, Sunrise’, 1872) by Claude Monet

1870 – 1900

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.

The Starry Night (1889) by Vincent van Gogh

Bedroom in Arles

1880 – 1920

1890-1914

Dadaism

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.

Marcel Duchamp, 1917, Fountain

Bicycle Wheel (1913) by Marcel Duchamp

1912 – 1923

Surrealism

Surrealism became a formal art movement, with a strong political, philosophical and social undercurrent that defined the methods used to elicit shock and curiosity among its following. 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.

1915

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.

Conceptual Art

Emerged as an art movement in the 1960s and the term usually refers to art made from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s.

(Henry Flynt of the Fluxus group described his performance pieces as ‘concept art’ in 1961)

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.
