Century Art

20th century art is known as the modern art. It started with MODERNISM in the late 19th century

Nineteenth-century movements of Post-Impressionism (Les Nabis), Art Nouveau and Symbolism led to the first twentieth-century art movements of Fauvism in France and Die Brcke ("The Bridge") in Germany.

 Les Nabis were a group of Post-Impressionist avantgarde artists who set the pace for fine arts and graphic arts in France in the 1890s.

Die Brcke strove for emotional Expressionism. Another German group was Der Blaue Reiter ("The Blue Rider"), led by Kandinsky in Munich, who associated the blue rider image with a spiritual non-figurative mystical art of the future.

Kandinsky, Kupka, R. Delaunay and Picabia were pioneers of abstract (or nonrepresentational) art. Cubism, generated by Picasso, Braque, Metzinger, Gleizes and others rejected the plastic norms of the Renaissance by introducing multiple perspectives into a two-dimensional image. Futurism incorporated the depiction of movement and machine age imagery.
