Expressionism was an early 20th century art style characterized by intense emotions and distortions. It focused on conveying feelings over realistic representations. Vincent van Gogh and Edvard Munch were early expressionist artists known for expressive, emotionally charged works. Later expressionist groups included Die Brücke and Der Blaue Reiter in Germany. Dadaism emerged during WWI as a rejection of reason and logic through absurd, nonsensical works by artists like Marcel Duchamp and Francis Picabia. Surrealism aimed to access the unconscious through automatism and dreamlike juxtapositions in the works of artists such as Salvador Dali, Joan Miró, and René Magritte. Social real

- 86. Cubism The movement to regain structure in painting was initiated by Cezanne, who is known as the “Father of Cubism.”
- 87. Cubism He advised painters to “treat nature by the cylinder, the sphere, the cone, everything in proper perspective, so that each side of an object or a plane is directed toward a central point.”
- 88. Cubism The concern for structure is basically classical in origin, and the classicism of Cezanne lies in his search for permanent and underlying structure.

- 99. Cubism B. Synthetic Cubism (1912 - 1916) The picture plane loses its earlier complexity and the monochrome coloring is replaced by brighter hues.
- 100. Cubism B. Synthetic Cubism (1912 - 1916) A new emphasis is given to texture, especially with the cubist technique of collage which consists of adding and pasting bits of colored paper, newsprint, or other materials on the surface to reinforce its flatness, to create textural effects, and to serve as points of reference.

- 111. Abstract Art • Abstract art is a logical extension of cubism with its fragmentation of the object. • Two artists, Kandinsky and Mondrian, launched abstraction in painting which, proclaiming the independence of the artist from the representation of the object, must have constituted a most daring step.
- 112. Abstract Art Vassily Kandinsky As early as 1910, Kandinsky began work on paintings in which no recognizable objects appear.

- 115. Abstract Art Piet Mondrian —a Dutch artist who was the leader of the De Stijl group. —developed geometric abstraction with his mathematically precise paintings based on right angles, squares and rectangles. —limited himself to the primary colors with the addition of black and white.

- 123. Abstract Art Vladimir Tatlin Laszlo Moholy-Nagy
- 124. Abstract Art Antoine Pevsner Naum Gabo
- 125. Abstract Art IN UNITED STATES: Abstract Art, deriving from Kandinsky’s free forms, developed into abstract expressionism or action painting.
- 126. Abstract Art IN UNITED STATES: The major exponent of the style is Jackson Pollock, whose technique, consisting of splattering or spraying the canvas with paint, brings the element of chance into play (Convergence).
- 127. Abstract Art Mark Rothoko In the work of Mark Rothoko, much depends on the striking combinations of luminous colors in large bands, creating a hypnotic effect.
- 128. Abstract Art Mark Rothoko White and Green on Blue
- 129. Abstract Art Other artists, such as Mark Tobey, have worked in calligraphic style, partly as exploration of the possibilities of the written character, and as a new version of automatic writing or doodling.
- 130. Abstract Art 1. Op (optical) art based on the fascination with optical illusion created through ingenious and precise combinations of line and color. requires great precision and planning, as well as scrupulous draftmanship
- 131. Abstract Art Victor Vasarely Bridget Riley
- 132. Abstract Art 2. Pop (popular) art draws its subject from mass-produced items that flood the consumer market: cola bottles, tin cans, photographs of film stars, and comic strips.
- 133. Abstract Art The artist may make a colorful bigger-than- life blow-up of Campbell soup cans as a half- playful, half-ironic comment on contemporary urban society, or he may multiply an image into rows and rows of the same, such as Andy Warhol has done with a dollar bill or with Marilyn Monroe’s photograph as a visual satire on mass production.
- 134. Abstract Art Roy Lichtenstein has taken his subjects from comic strips which when blown up acquire a strange, ominous, if not absurd character.
- 135. Abstract Art Step on Can with Leg (1961)
- 136. Abstract Art Claes Oldenburg has taken familiar objects, such as the hamburger sandwich, and made it into a startling piece of naturalistic sculpture.
- 137. Abstract Art 3. Psychedelic art found its vogue in the late 1960’s sought to capture in art the weird, whirling shapes and luminous colors supposedly visualized under the influence of stimulants, especially drugs.
- 138. Abstract Art • Some newer developments in contemporary art are the shaped canvases, box constructions, and empaquetage, or wrapping. • In recent times, the artist has turned away from fixed, traditional types, to discover new forms and techniques, thus extending art into modern technology and the domain of the computer.
