Neoprimitivism ?
Neo-Primitivism is a style-label employed by the Muscovite avant-
garde in the early twentieth century to describe forms of visual art
and poetry that were tendentiously crude in style and socially and
politically contentious in terms of subject matter.

Among the Western artists
who adapted these elements
was Amedeo Modigliani, who
used the oval faces and
elongated shapes of African
art in both his sculptures and
paintings.
Neoprimitivism was an art
style that incorporated
elements from the native
arts of the South Sea
Islanders and the wood
carvings of African tribes
that surged in popularity at
that time.

Some characteristics of neo-primitivist
art include the use of bold colors,

paint in Jeanne Hébuterne with Yellow Sweater, in
which he portrayed his young companion as a kind
of fertility goddess.

Head- Amedeo
Modigliani

referring to the
group of French
expressionist
painters who painted
in this style.
Perhaps the most
known among
them was Henri
Matisse.

12. SLIDESMANIA.C
Fauvism was known for bold, vibrant,
almost acidic colours used in
unusual juxtaposition, and an
intuitive, highly gestural application
of paint.

In The Blue Window, Matisse offers us a clue as to
what the painting is about and how he made it. At the
lower right of the picture, he painted a gray square
framed in red. That’s a Claude mirror—a slightly
convex, tinted mirror artists sometimes used to view
a landscape.

Did you know?
Dadaism ?
Dadaism was a style characterized by dream fantasies, memory
images, and visual tricks and surprises as in the paintings of Giorgio
de Chirico. Although the works appeared playful, the movement
arose from the pain that a group of European artists felt after the
suffering brought by World War I.

Did you know?
Wishing to protest against
the civilization that had
brought on such horrors,
these artists rebelled
against established norms
and authorities, and
against the traditional
styles in art.
They chose the child’s
term for hobbyhorse,
dada, to refer to their new
“nonstyle.”

18. SLIDESMANIA.C
Dadaism’s most profound
characteristics include humor,
whimsy, artistic freedom, emotional
reaction, irrationalism, and
spontaneity.

Surrealism?
Surrealism was a style that depicted an illogical, subconscious
dream world that seemed to exist beyond the logical, conscious,
physical one. Its name came from the term “super realism,” with its
artworks clearly expressing a departure from reality-as though the
artists were dreaming, seeing illusions, or experiencing an altered
mental state.

22. SLIDESMANIA.C

Many surrealist works depicted morbid or gloomy subjects, as in those
by perhaps the best-known surrealist Salvador Dali (on previous page).
Others seemed quite playful and even humorous, such as those by Marc
Chagall, Paul Klee, and Joan Miro.
