Impressionism: Capturing the Essence of Light and Color

Impressionism, pioneered by Claude Monet, emerged in the late 19th century. Impressionist painters sought to capture the fleeting effects of light and color, often painting outdoors to depict landscapes and scenes from everyday life. Their works are characterized by loose brushwork, vibrant hues, and an emphasis on atmosphere.

Post-Impressionism: A Departure from Impressionism's Constraints

Post-Impressionism, led by Vincent van Gogh and Paul Cézanne, evolved from Impressionism's focus on capturing light and color. Post-Impressionist artists explored more subjective and expressive styles, using bold colors, exaggerated forms, and symbolic elements to convey their inner emotions and visions.

Cubism: Fragmenting Reality to Reveal Multiple Perspectives

Cubism, developed by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, revolutionized the representation of form and space. Cubist artists broke down objects into geometric shapes, viewing them from multiple perspectives simultaneously. Their works explore the complexities of perception and the relationship between the real and the imagined.

Surrealism: Exploring the Unconscious Mind in Art

Surrealism, led by André Breton and Salvador Dalí, emerged in the 1920s as a movement that sought to liberate the unconscious mind and explore the realms of dreams and imagination.
