Modernism gained momentum in the early 20th century as an artistic movement that rejected traditional styles and emphasized innovation and experimentation to better reflect modern society. This was influenced by events like World War I, nationalism, and technological advances. Modern art movements from this period included Fauvism, Cubism, Expressionism, and Dadaism. These styles used abstraction and expressionism rather than realistic representation, and rejected the past by establishing new methods like individual artistic contribution and Wölfflin's principles of form. Modernism influenced existing art historical methods through psychoanalytic and formalist analyses.

Art and the avant garde
The document discusses three avant-garde art movements: Cubism, Expressionism, and Dadaism. Cubism emphasized ideas over reality and depicted figures with geometric shapes. Expressionism focused on depicting emotions like disappointment through deformed body parts and dynamic images. Dadaism was inspired by disillusionment with society after WWI, as Dadaist artists wanted to provoke and rebel through works like Duchamp's Fountain, a signed urinal considered a landmark in 20th century art.
Modern art movements
Modernism emerged in the late 19th century as artists sought new styles and materials to break from historical conventions. Neo-expressionism arose in the 1970s in response to minimalism and conceptual art, bringing back traditional painting techniques. Abstract expressionism used brushstrokes and texture to convey emotion through the act of painting itself and was exemplified by artists like Pollock, Rothko, and de Kooning. Optical art exploited optical illusions through techniques like perspective illusion and chromatic tension to create the impression of movement, as seen in the works of Vasarely.

Cubism, Кубизм
Cubism was a revolutionary style of abstract art developed in the early 20th century by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. Key characteristics of Cubism included geometrizing figures, approximating the fourth dimension, using multiple perspectives, and deforming natural forms. There were two groups of Cubists during its height from 1909-1914 - the "Gallery Cubists" including Picasso and Braque, and the "Salon Cubists" who exhibited in public salons. Cubism ignored traditional perspective and showed multiple views of subjects, influencing later modern art styles.

MODERN ART EXPRESSIONISM.pptx
The document summarizes major art movements that arose in the early 20th century, including Expressionism, Neo-Primitivism, Fauvism, Dadaism, Surrealism, Social Realism, Cubism, Futurism, the Mechanical Style, Non-Objectivism, and Abstract Expressionism. Expressionist artists distorted forms and used strong colors to express emotion over realistic representation. Later movements like Cubism, Dadaism, and Surrealism further departed from reality through techniques like fragmentation and dream-like imagery. Social realists used art to raise awareness of social issues. Abstractionism emerged with styles like Cubism that reduced forms to geometric shapes.
3.3.3 Dada
The document discusses the Dada art movement that emerged in Zurich, Switzerland in 1916 in response to World War I. It was founded by Tristan Tzara and characterized by nihilistic protest against conventions through provocative gestures and anti-art works. Key figures discussed include Tzara, Jean Arp, Francis Picabia, Man Ray, and Marcel Duchamp, who helped establish Dada in New York. Dada utilized techniques like collage, readymades, and photomontage to destroy artistic conventions through nonsensical and absurdist works that rejected logic and reason.
Impressionism
Impressionism emerged in the late 19th century among Paris-based artists seeking to capture fleeting moments in their works. Expressionism originated in early 20th century Germany as a modernist movement where artists expressed emotional experiences through distorted perspectives rather than physical realism. Dadaism arose after World War I as an anti-war movement where artists rebelled against social norms through dream-like, surprising non-styles. Surrealism further developed these ideas to depict illogical dream worlds beyond conscious reality. Futurism began in early 1900s Italy to celebrate the modern age through dynamic works depicting speed, motion, and machinery. Cubism influenced these later styles by presenting fragmented perspectives of subjects from multiple angles.
Modernism
Modernism in art emerged in the 1860s through the works of artists like Édouard Manet who broke from academic conventions in paintings like Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe and Olympia. While modernism's roots can be traced to intellectual developments in the Renaissance and 18th century, it was in the early 20th century that progressive modernism came to dominate the European art scene by focusing on qualities of form like color, shape, and line rather than subject matter. Conservative modernists also existed who believed art should set moral examples, in contrast to progressive modernists who reduced compositions to basic elements. Famous modernist artists and their groundbreaking works are mentioned.

Historical contex
Cubism was a 20th century avant-garde movement pioneered by Picasso and Braque that revolutionized European painting and sculpture. Futurism was an Italian movement that glorified modernity, technology, and war. Expressionism aimed to depict subjective emotions rather than objective reality, emerging in Germany in 1910. Abstract art uses form, color and line independently of visual references to create non-representational compositions along a continuum from figurative to total abstraction. Pop art challenged fine art traditions by incorporating mass-produced visual objects of popular culture in the 1950s-60s.

Modern art began in the 1860s and lasted until the 1970s, sparked by a rejection of traditional styles and an embrace of new experimentation. Artists focused on their direct experiences and emotions over academic conventions. Many new movements emerged, from Impressionism's loose brushwork to Cubism's fragmentation of form to Surrealism's exploration of the unconscious mind. Most new styles were initially met with ridicule but went on to influence generations of artists as they settled into art history. The 20th century saw unprecedented technological and social changes that modern art both reflected and helped people process.
