The document summarizes major art movements from Realism to Postmodernism. It discusses Realism's rejection of Romanticism in favor of depicting modern life, and artists like Courbet, Millet, and Manet. Impressionism focused on accurate depictions of light and color using small brushstrokes, exemplified by Monet, Renoir, and Cassatt. Post-Impressionism varied in its uses of color, seen in Van Gogh, Gauguin, Seurat, and Cezanne. Expressionism emphasized emotion influenced by psychology, including Munch, Schiele, and Kirchner. Cubism involved geometric fragmentation and collage materials, seen in Picasso and Braque
