Group Style / Period Style

The name of the group reflects the name of the style of art incorporated

Example: The Impressionists and Impressionism

All art styles begin from “rebellion”

The Renaissance

Literally means “Rebirth”

This was a time when all things that mattered were looked at in a whole new way, such as:

Art Architecture Science Literature

Da Vinci's “The Last Supper”

Da Vinci's “Mona Lisa”

Michaelangelo's Sistine Chapel Frescos

Impressionism

Changed the way artists created artwork, as well as what they made artwork of

It was made with the idea of paying attention to light

Painted with a short, choppy brush stroke

Focused on the everyday things instead of high society

Claude Monet's “Sunrise”

Renoir's “The Luncheon of the Boating Party”

Post Impressionism

Still focused on the everyday things

Changed the way that artists put paint on the canvas

For example, Georges Seurat using dots

Seurat's “Sunday Afternoon”

Expressionism

Focused on the power of color to affect the mood of a painting

Colors used were more “expressive,” or made to really fit with the theme of an artwork

Van Gogh's “Starry Night”

Munch's “The Shriek” (“The Scream”)

Cubism

• Cubism was started as a way to combine expressive colors with the use of angular shapes in order to have the viewer feel more inclined to view the artwork deeper

• Largely considered to be THE MOST IMPORTANT art movement of the 20th century

Pablo Picasso “Self Portrait”

Picasso's “As Senhoritas de Avignon”

Picasso's “Guernica”

Surrealism

• For the first time, the Surrealists made it okay to paint from the “Unconscious” or Dreams

• Used very unreal imagery, the idea being to show what was deeper in the artists' minds

Salvador Dali's “The Persistence of Memory”

Paul Klee's “Twittering Machine”

Marc Chagall's “The Birthday”

Pop Art

• Began in the 1960's

• Was focused on Pop Culture, Advertising and Celebrities

• Much more light-hearted in a lot of ways

James Rosenquist' “Nomad”

Andy Warhol's “200 Soup Cans”

Roy Lichtenstein's “Drowning Girl”

Post-Modern and Neo-Modernism

• Time periods most commonly associated with today's art style

• Includes rules and techniques used during other art periods

• These time periods brought about the use of Land Art, or art made using the earth

Robert Smithson's “Spiral Jetty”

Walter De Maria's “Lightning Field”

Christo's “Running Fence”

Christo's “The Gates”
