Dadaism: Non-sensical, absurd.

“If anything is art, then

nothing is art”
Impressionism: focus on play of natural light and colours; reproduction of image as impressed
upon the eyes; painting entirely out-of-doors while looking at the actual scene, instead of finishing up a
painting from sketches in the studio; No sharp outlines, but mostly dabs and strokes.
Cubism: new reality in paintings that depicted radically fragmented objects.
Adorno believed that Lukacs could not see the power of the fragmented form of modern
art to capture the truth about modern society.
