Art Nouveau
A decorative-art movement centered in Western Europe. Began in the 1880s as a reaction against the historical emphasis of mid-19th-century art, but did not survive World War I.

Art nouveau originated in London and was variously called Jugendstilin Germany, Sezessionstilin Austria, and Modernismoi...

Art Deco Design

During the period between the two world wars, an eclectic design style developed
Architecture and applied arts of the period reveal a varied mix, most share the hallmarks of geometry and simplicity, often combined with vibrant colors and simple shapes that celebrate the rise of commerce and technology

Consultants were commissioned by manufacturing companies to produce a variety of goods

Art deco graphics are a product of their age, and reflect a spirit of modernity and industrial ingenuity

The graphic style of the period often used geometric formality and simplicity to transform or distort reality
Today, "art deco" is used to refer to a mix of styles from the 1920s and 1930s

Cubism
A movement in modern art, especially painting

Invented by Spanish artist Pablo Picasso and French artist Georges Braque in 1907 and 1908
Cubist paintings create an ambiguous sense of space through geometric shapes that flatten and simplify form, spatial planes that are broken into fragments, and forms that overlap and penetrate one another

Futurism
Early 20th-century artistic movement that centered in Italy sand emphasized the dynamism, speed, energy, and power of the machine and the vitality, change, and restlessness of modern life in general
The most significant results of the movement were in the visual arts and poetry

The name Futurism, coined by Marinetti, reflected his emphasis on discarding what he conceived to be the static and irrelevant art of the past and celebrating change, originality, and innovation in culture and society

Art Deco Architecture

Crisp geometric patterns, surface ornaments and exotic materials were present in many of buildings of the era
New York's Art Deco skyscrapers are more than buildings; they are monuments to the technology and financial power that created them

The buildings of Miami's Art Deco district, on the other hand, reflect the Hollywood style, with their striking facades and colors

Bauhaus Theory
The Bauhaus is not a style; it is a collection of attitudes

Theories for which the Bauhaus stood for are condensed in the slogan of "functionalism" Functionalism is the belief that if something is only designed to fit its purpose we can let beauty look after itself) The best works of this style are beautiful not only because they happen to fit the function for which they are built but because they were designed by men of tact and taste who knew how to make an object or building fit for its purpose and yet right for the eye

School of Bauhaus
Founded in Weimar Germany in 1919 by the architect Walter Gropius.
The Bauhaus Manifesto united the teaching of fine art, applied art & architecture in order to educate creative people capable of large scale collaborative projects or "total works of art" The word Bauhaus is derived from the "hausbau" meaning construction and implies not only building and construction but also reconstruction and is identified with functionalism Students were encouraged to use their imagination and to experiment boldly yet never to lose sight of the purpose which their designs should serve

Bauhaus Furniture

It was at the school that tubular steel chairs and similar furnishings of our daily use were designed

Bauhaus Typography
The Bauhaus favored the use of sans serif fonts which was frowned upon heavily by most of Germany which preferred a heavier more complicated gothic font

Bauhaus
Bauhaus broke up in 1983, yet fifteen years later their back catalogue sells better than ever Their style still contemporary, and the live shows are now legendary. With the image and brooding music it was inevitable that Bauhaus would be classified with the vanguard of the "goth" fashion, a totally misleading confinement which ignored their humor, experimentation and uniqueness.

Surrealism
At the end of the First War World, Tristan Tzara, leader of the Dada movement, wanted to attack society through scandal
He believed that a society that creates the monstrosity of war does not deserve art, so he decided to give it anti-artnot beauty but ugliness

Surrealism as we know it today is closely related to some forms of abstract art Two Distinct Groups Emerge

The Automatists
A suppression of consciousness in favor of the subconscious The automatic way in which the images of the subconscious reach the conscience. They believed these images should not be burdened with "meaning Automatists saw the academic discipline of art as intolerant of the free expression of feeling, and felt form, which had dominated the history of art, was a culprit in that intolerance Coming from the Dada tradition, they continued to believe that lack of form was a way to rebel against them

Veristic Surrealists
Wanted to represent these images as a link between the abstract spiritual realities, and the real forms of the material world. To them, the object stood as a metaphor for an inner reality Saw academic discipline and form as the means to represent the images of the subconscious with veracity; as a way to freeze images that, if unrecorded, would easily dissolve once again into the unknown. They hoped to find a way to follow the images of the subconscious

Salvador Dali
Dali embraced all the science of painting as a way to study the psyche through subconscious images. He called this the Paranoiac Critical Later on, he expanded the Method. The artist process into the Oniricshould allow these Critical Method, in images to reach the which the artist pays conscience, and then: attention to his dreams, Freeze them on canvas freezing them through to art, and analyzing them give consciousness as well the opportunity to

Pablo Picasso
Inherited the gusto for ugliness, scandal and chaos of the Dada movement and the automatic surrealists Rejected the craft to become "primitive," deciding that the ingenuity of childhood is the basis of art, to him this meant that the less the artist is preoccupied with his craft the better his art

Future of Surrealism
In 1941, Surrealism was declared dead and has been described as such in art history books since that time
Because it was rejected by the new academy of modernism, Veristic Surrealism in its new evolution has become a new art
