As the photograph captured reality, art began to capture what was really there. The slide show attempts to capture the paradigm shifts in art from impressionism through surrealism. It is basically pretty pictures in the dark, with some hallmarks of the movements pointed out for students.

4. Impressionism Sought to capture reality (emotion) through color and motion.

5. Claude Monet Optics: He broke down parts.

13. Pierre-Auguste Renoir Color

20. Post Impressionism Impressionism, but more complex.

23. Georges Seurat “pointillism” or painting with one point at a time.

60. Pablo Picasso Paint “not objects, but the space they engender.”

68. Advertising Art At the turn of the century advertising and art started to meld together.

72. Surrealism Fantastic visual imagery from the subconscious mind is used with no intention of making the artwork logically comprehensible.

73. Rene Magritte "My painting is visible images which conceal nothing; they evoke mystery and, indeed, when one sees one of my pictures, one asks oneself this simple question 'What does that mean'? It does not mean anything, because mystery means nothing either, it is unknowable."

77. Salvador Dali Used dream imagery to create unforgettable and unmistakable landscapes of his inner world.

82. M.C. Escher

90. Revolution or Evolution? See how “truth” and what we “see” changes from movement to movement.
