Op Art was around in the 1960's. Op art, also known as optical art, was pioneered by artists like Bridget Riley and Victor Vasarely. It had the purpose of creating an illusion to the human eye and making the image look as if it's moving. Shapes, colours and patterns could be put together to create optical illusions.
Fauvism occurred in the early 1900’s, it only lasted a few years though. The artists that were associated with this movement included Henri Matisse. A piece of their art is below. This art movement was trying to achieve very saturated colours (which came from emphasising expansive fields of colour) fauvism uses non-natural colours. For example, the blue on the woman's skin for shading.
Cubism also occurred in the early 1900’s, and began in Paris. This movement was led by Pablo Picasso. Its purpose was to go break some rules of traditional art. Below is a creation by Picasso himself.
Abstract Expressionism happened in the 1940's. It was a world war II art movement that wanted to influence internationally. To produce abstract impressionism, you had to apply small brush strokes in order to paint an "impression" of the reference you preferred. An example of this is shown below, this piece was created by Jackson Pollock.
Suprematism was found the the early 1900's and was developed in 1913 . This movement focuses on geometric shapes and forms and the use of them to create basic compositions. The piece below was created by Kazimir Malevich.
Futurism first occurred around 1909, this movement was based in Italy. The goal of futurism was to show new technology and the beauty of its speed. Originality was a huge thing and was to be showed through this art movement. Christopher Richard Wynne Nevinson has previously doen abstract art before, here is one of them below:
Dadaism started around WWI. The aim of this was to go against modernism and logic. This went against modern society and was to make artworks with more reason. Soon enough this led to people using propaganda to challenge others and create symbolic works. The reference below was done by Euardo Paolozzi.
Surrealism occurred in the 1910's. The purpose of surrealism was for others to convey their creativity on canvas with next-to-no-limits. This movement influenced art, literature and culture. Surrealism involved the imagination to be used and lets others apply what they have seen, dreamt about, ever thought of, and allowed them to feel as if their strange thoughts could potentially become an amazing piece of art as deranged ideas are interesting.
