    IMPRESSIONISM
    What is it?
    Its been called the most
    revolutionary art movement in the
    history of art. The Impressionists
    rejected traditional ideas about what
    painting should be about and what it
    should look like.

    e Salon was a prestigious art competition in Paris during the late 19 th century.
    e type of paintings that made it into the show had important subject matter from
    tory, religion, or myth, they were extremely realistic with no signs of brush mark

    THE IMPRESSIONISTS:
    They wanted to capture the effect of
    light falling on objects.

    Unlike the Old Masters, they used bright


    high-key colors
    They let their brushstrokes show.
    They painted a lot of landscapes and
    so often worked out of doors.
    They painted ordinary people doing
    everyday things.

    The leader of the movement was Claude


    Monet.

    CUBISM
    The most important artistic
    movement of the 20th century.
    Cubism was invented by Pablo
    Picasso and Georges Braque
    It changed the way people
    saw the world.

    Since the discovery of linear perspective during the Renaissance, most


    painters had
    painted the world in the same way. When a viewer looks at a painting he or
    she sees
    it as though looking through a window standing in the same position the
    painter had been.

    The Bauhaus
    Bauhaus was an art school that
    operated in Germany from 1919 to
    1933.
    It was highly influential in art,
    architecture, and design. Artists
    associated with it strove for
    simplicity in design that fit the
    function of the product (form follows
    function).

    BAUHAUS
    Unlike Art Nouveau and Art Deco,
    Bauhaus-inspired designed eschewed
    ornamentation for functionality.

    DADA
    The tragedy of World War I lead a group of
    artists known as the Dadaist to want to reject
    most moral, social, political, and aesthetic
    values.
    They thought that war was insane and
    evidence that Europe had lost its way

    Marcel Duchamp
    A leader of the Dada movement.
    He invented readymades (mass produced
    objects, such as snow shovels and urinals
    that he labeled art)
    Duchamp and the Dadaists expanded on the
    cubists invention of collage by making
    photomontages (parts of photographs are
    combined in thought-provoking ways).

    SURREALISM
    Surrealists also thought Europe was
    out of
    balance in the mid-1920s. They
    turned for
    inspiration in the world of the
    unconscious
    mind, of dreams, fantasies, and
    hallucinations.
