MAJOR ARTISTIC EVENTS OF THE PERIOD 1945 - 1968
Pop Art (1950) - It was founded in Great Britain but became famous
with the American artists Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein.
This artistic movement came from the abstract expressionism
and mixed different traditional artistic movements like cartoons,
photography, drawings and posters with the artistic prints like
advertisements and supermarket brochures. So we have the so-
called POPular art, that is the commercial art of people.
Informal Art (1952) - Informal Art is a term coined in 1950 by a
French critic to refer to the art movement that began during the
mid-1940s in the post-World War II Europe. This movement also
paralleled the Expressionism movement that was taking place at
the same time in the United States, and had ties to the to the Poor
movement. With the delusion of the Second World War, artists
wanted to be free to represent energy in signs and subjects.
2. Nouveau Realism (1958) - Nouveau réalisme was a term used to refer
to an artistic movement founded in 1960 by the art critic Restany
and the painter Klein during the first collective exposition in the
gallery in Milan. These artists' aim was to show the world as an
image from which they could take part and incorporate it into
their works. They advocated a return to "reality" in opposition to
the lyricism of abstract painting.
Poor Art (1960) - The term was created by Germano Celant in 1967 to
indicate an Italian group of artists fascinated by the so-called
"direct live" rather than concepts of representation. Among the
most important artists, Giuseppe Penone, Jannis Kounnelis and
Gilberto Zorio were those who showed the freedom of expression
through common subjects and scenes.
Op Art (1965) - Time Magazine coined the term Op Art in 1964 to
refer a form of abstract art that used optical illusions. These
works derived by the philological studies of the German Gropius,
who proved that visual effects and colours caused influences in
the human mind. There are suggestive examples of these works
various international museums.
Body Art (1968) - Body Art took place in Austria in 1965, and was
then introduced in France, Russia and in various European
countries. It regarded artistic forms created on bodies like
decorations, tattoos, piercings and scarification.
