Artistic Movements



Abstract Impressionism is a type of abstract painting (not to be confused with Abstract Expressionism, a similar but different movement) where small brush strokes exhibit control of large areas, expressing the artists emotion and focus on inner energy and sometimes contemplation, creating expressive, lyrical and thoughtful qualities in the painting. Its their own impression but in a abstract way.
























Art Nouvea is a style of art that appeared in Europe during the late 19th Century, though its influence is global and continuous. The artistic style which takes its name for the French, meaning 'New art' and is characterised by the use of organic shapes and dramatic curving lines that encompass many forms of art. Many of its themes are taken from nature, though presented quite abstractly and includes plants flowers and naturally curved lines 












Futurism was an artistic and social movement that originated in Italy in the early 20th Century. It emphasised and glorified themes associated with concepts of the future, including speed technology youth and violence and objects such as the car.     































Minimalism describes movements in various forms of art and design, especially visual are and music, where the work is set out to expose the essence of identity or a subject. By eliminating all non essential forms, features or concepts. It rooted in the reductive aspects of modernism and is often interpreted as a reaction against abstract expressionism and a bridge to post minimal art practices 













Photo Realism is the genre of painting based on using the camera and photographs to gather information creating a painting that appears photographic. The term is primarily applied to paintings from the US art movement that began in the late 1960's and early 1970's.
