Types of Modern Arts
- Impressionist Art:
- The artworks normally depict scenes in nature and often play around with the themes of weather and light by using a variety of different colors and brushstrokes.
- Impressionist art has a number of features that make the art movement easy to recognize.
- They often include very choppy brushstrokes and big dabs of paint, this is because the artist would normally sit outside and rush to capture the scene as they saw it!
- Impressionist pieces often have very blurry lines and can often look abstract when looking too closely.
- There are no harsh lines or edges in impressionist paintings - the colors often bleed into one another creating a soft finish.
- Cubism art:
- Cubism opened up almost infinite new possibilities for the treatment of visual reality in art and was the starting point for many later abstract styles including constructivism and neo-plasticism.
- By breaking objects and figures down into distinct areas – or planes – the artists aimed to show different viewpoints at the same time and within the same space and so suggest their three dimensional form.
- In doing so they also emphasized the two-dimensional flatness of the canvas instead of creating the illusion of depth. This marked a revolutionary break with the European tradition of creating the illusion of real space from a fixed viewpoint using devices such as linear perspective, which had dominated representation from the Renaissance onwards.
- Surrealism Art:
- According to the major spokesman of the movement, the poet and critic André Breton, who published The Surrealist Manifesto in 1924, Surrealism was a means of reuniting conscious and unconscious realms of experience so completely that the world of dream and fantasy would be joined to the everyday rational world in “an absolute reality, a surreality.”
- Drawing heavily on theories adapted from Sigmund Freud, Breton saw the unconscious as the wellspring of the imagination. He defined genius in terms of accessibility to this normally untapped realm, which, he believed, could be attained by poets and painters alike.
