| | Art movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | An art movement is a tendency or style in art with a specific common philosophy or goal, followed by a group of artists during a restricted period of time (usually a few months, years or decades). | | | Art movements were especially important in modern art, where each consecutive movement was considered as a new avant-garde. | | | Sometimes art movements are ironically referred to as -isms. |

| | Impressionism (art), a movement in painting that originated in France in the late 19th century. | | | Art historians tended to overlook the work of Morisot despite her similar technique and participation in the original 1874 exhibition—partly because she was a woman and partly because she had fewer works in circulation than the others. | | | Art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel, who worked hard to sell impressionist works, promoted this view of impressionism as a movement concerned primarily with landscape painting, with Monet as its central figure. |

| | WWN: Women's Art Movement |
| | Exploring the kind of art women make when creating from their own life experiences led to a call for a re-examination of the criteria that defined what art and which artists were to be valued. | | | The women’s art movement has championed the idea that gender is socially and not naturally constructed; validated non-"high art" forms such as craft, video and performance art; questioned the cult of "genius" and "greatness;" and placed an emphasis on pluralist variety rather than concepts of totalizing universalism. | | | As with the women’s movement in general, white women originally dominated the women’s art movement, however women of color and lesbian and bisexual artists were present and influential from the beginning. |

| | While Art Nouveau overlapped the more rustic Arts and Crafts Movement, it was Art Nouveau which not only introduced a new, international design vocabulary, but became the first popular 20th-century art movement. | | | There were many associations between Art Nouveau and the Symbolist movement in art, literature and drama. | | | Art Nouveau, in particular, marked a rebellion against the historically eclectic aspects of Victorian art. |

| | They declare the movement was born in 1925, the year of the Paris Exhibition of Decorative and Industrial Arts (hence the shortened phrase, "Art Deco"). | | | Whether using angles or curves, Art Deco artists did like to mass-produce their art in the same way factories mass-produced their products, eschewing the one-of-a-kind ethos of Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts artists. | | | With caveats such as these, Louise finally does struggle for a definition, comparing Art Deco, which had its heyday between the two World Wars, to the other "Art" style that is often confused with it. |

| | They constructed art from materials such as steel, glass, rope etc. previously not popular with artists (except for the cubists.) Two of the main facets upon which the basis of constructivism was originally conceived were functionalism and non-representation in art. | | | The concept of non-representational art was founded by Wassily Kandinsky and was built upon the principle that one shouldn't be able to define the image that one sees in a work of art; on the contrary, one should be looking at pure abstraction and extracting ideas (stimulated by the work) from one's own subconscious. | | | Soviet constructivism is a particular style of abstract art, which grew out of a movement known to most art historians as cubism and futurism. |
