It all began in Paris as a reaction to a very formal and rigid style of painting - done inside studios and set by traditional institutions like the  Academie des Beaux-Arts  in Paris . The Impressionist painters preferred to paint outside and studied the effect of light on objects. Their preferred subjects were landscapes and scenes from daily life.

7. 3. Expressionism It was a movement in which objective reality was displaced by subjective emotions, with the consequence that a long-lasting climate of self expression spread Works with more emotional force ,rather than realistic or natural images The aim of expressionism was not to replicate an impression inferred by the surrounding world, but rather to enforce the artist’s own emotional response to the world’s so as to distinguish its true meaning.

8. 4. Art Nouveau Movement Art Nouveau is French and means New Art. It is characterized by its highly decorative style and by the dedication to natural forms. Art Nouveau was popular from about 1880 to 1910 and was an International art movement.

10. 6. Cubism Cubism , another modern art movement, was primarily restricted to painting and sculpture . In cubism, geometrical forms and fragmentations are favored. Everything is reduced to cubes and other geometrical forms. Often several aspects of one subject are shown simultaneously. 

11. 7. Surrealism Surrealism is another of the many modern art movements in the 20th century. Surrealism emphasizes the unconscious, the importance of dreams, the psychological aspect in arts.

12. 8. Abstract Art this art that does not attempt to represent an accurate depiction of a visual reality but instead use shapes, colors, forms and gestural marks to achieve its effect.

13. 9. Pop Art Movement The  movement  presented a challenge to traditions of fine  art  by including imagery from popular and mass culture, such as advertising, comic books and mundane mass-produced cultural objects.

14. 10. Op Art Movement After Pop Art it was Op Art, a short form for  Optical Art . Op Art expressed itself with reduced geometrical forms - sometimes in black and white contrasts and sometimes with very brilliant colors. 

15. 11. Dadaism Dada's aesthetic, marked by its mockery of materialistic and nationalistic attitudes, proved a powerful influence on artists in many cities, including Berlin, Hanover, Paris, New York and Cologne, all of which generated their own groups.

16. 12. Futurism Futurism was an Italian art movement of the early twentieth century that aimed to capture in art the dynamism and energy of the modern world.

17. 13. Abstract Expressionism The name evokes their aim to make art that while abstract was also expressive or emotional in its effect. They were inspired by the surrealist idea that art should come from the unconscious mind, and by the automatism of artist Joan Miró
