The document discusses several Avant Garde art movements that broke from tradition in their styles and techniques, including Fauvism, Cubism, Expressionism, Futurism, and Surrealism. Fauvism used strong, flat colors independent from reality. Cubism analyzed and decomposed objects into geometric forms and represented them from multiple views simultaneously. Expressionism evoked emotions through random colors and introverted figures. Futurism emphasized speed, technology, and modernity. Surrealism drew from dreams and the subconscious to create intricately figurative paintings. Key artists mentioned are Matisse, Picasso, Munch, Boccioni, Dali, Mallo, and Kahlo.
