SUB- MOVEMENT OF
EXPRESSIONISM
NEOPRIMITIVIS
M
• was an art style that incorporated elements from the
native arts of the South Sea Islanders and the wood
carvings of African tribes which suddenly became
popular at that time. Among the Western artists who
adapted these elements was Amedeo Modigliani, who
used the oval faces and elongated shapes of African
art in both his sculptures and paintings.
FAUVISM
•was a style that used bold, vibrant colors and
visual distortions. Its name was derived from les
fauves (“wild beasts”), referring to the group of
French expressionist painters who painted in this
style. Perhaps the most known among them was
Henri Matisse.
DADAISM

•was a style characterized by dream fantasies,

memory images, and visual tricks and
surprises—as in the paintings of Marc Chagall
and Giorgio de Chirico below.
SURREALI
SM
• was a style that depicted an illogical, subconscious dream
world beyond the logical, conscious, physical one. Its name
came from the term “super realism,” with its artworks
clearly expressing a departure from reality—as though the
artists were dreaming, seeing illusions, or experiencing an
altered mental state.
SOCIAL
REALISM
• expressed the artist’s role in social reform. Here, artists
used their works to protest against the injustices,
inequalities, immorality, and ugliness of the human
condition. In different periods of history, social realists
have addressed different issues: war, poverty, corruption,
industrial and environmental hazards, and more—in the
hope of raising people’s awareness and pushing society to
seek reforms.
END
ABSTRACTIONISM

• Also called non-objective art or non-

representational art, painting, sculpture, or graphic
art in which the portrayal of things from the visible
world plays no part. All arts consist largely of
elements that can be called abstract—elements of
form, color, line, tone, and texture.
SUB-MOVEMENT OF
ABSTRACTIONISM
 A. CUBISM

• highly influential visual arts style of the 20th century that

was created principally by the artists Pablo Picasso and
Georges Braque in Paris between 1907 and 1914. The Cubist
style emphasized the flat, two-dimensional surface of the
picture plane, rejecting the traditional techniques of
perspective, foreshortening, modelling, and chiaroscuro and
refuting time-honoured theories that art should imitate
nature.
 B. FUTURISM
•Italian Futurismo, Russian Futurism, early 20th-
century artistic movement centered in Italy that
emphasized the dynamism, speed, energy, and
power of the machine and the vitality, change,
and restlessness of modern life.
C. MECHANICAL STYLE

•the result of futurist movement. In this style,

basic forms such as planes, cones, spheres and
cylinders all fit together perfectly and precisely
with neatness in their appointed places.
NONOBJECTIVISM

• The logical geometrical conclusion of

abstractionism came in the style known as
nonobjectivism. From the very term “non-object,”
works in this style did not make use of figures or
even representations of figures.
