STYLES in PAINTING

Impressionism describes a style of painting

developed in France during the mid-to-late
19th century; characterizations of
the style include small, visible
brushstrokes that offer the bare
impression of form, unblended color and
an emphasis on the accurate depiction of

natural light.
Expressionism (fine arts) is a modernist
movement, initially in poetry and painting,
originating in Germany at the beginning of the

5
20th century. Its typical trait is to present the world solely from a subjective
perspective, distorting it radically for emotional effect in order to evoke moods or
ideas.

Abstract art is art that does not attempt to

represent an accurate depiction of a visual
reality but instead use shapes, colours, forms and
gestural marks to achieve its effect.

Realism, sometimes called naturalism, in the arts is

generally the attempt to represent subject matter truthfully,
without artificiality and avoiding speculative fiction and
supernatural elements.
