The document discusses the emergence of new art movements in the late 1970s and early 1980s, including Bad Painting, Transavantgarde, and Neo-Expressionism in places like New York City, Italy, and West Germany, as experimental artists rejected conventions and embraced new styles and subjects outside the mainstream.

The Transavantgarde refers to the Neo-Expressionism
movement in Italy. The movement launched in the late
1970s and generally refers to artworks, in traditional media
(paintings and sculptures), with eclectic and apolitical
imagery.
Several Transavantgarde artists are influenced by themes
like history, popular culture and non-conventional art.
Artists of this movement have included: Sandro CHIA,
Francesco CLEMENTE, Enzo CUCCHI, Nicola DE MARIA,
Mimmo PALADINO, and Remo SALVADORI.
