Modernism
Modernism: the movement in Western culture in the late 19th and early 20th centuries that is characterized by a deliberate rejection of the styles of the past. Modernism emphasizes innovation, “newness,” and experimentation in forms, materials and techniques in order to create artworks that better reflected modern society.
Key Terms
Avant Garde:
The use of new and unusual or experimental ideas, especially in the arts, or the people introducing them. Many Modernist artists worked in this realm.
Primitivism:
A Western art movement that borrows visual forms from non-Western or prehistoric peoples (Oceanic, African, etc.)
Picasso: Blue Period
Picasso: Rose Period
Fauvism
Fauvism:
A style of painting characterized by vivid expressionistic and non-naturalistic use of color. Fauvism flourished in Paris from 1905 and, although short-lived, had an important influence on subsequent artists, especially the German expressionists. Matisse was regarded as the movement's leading figure.

Matisse Beyond Fauvism
Expressionism
Expressionism:
A movement in which the artist seeks to express emotional experience rather than impressions of the external world. This was a modernist movement that originated in Germany in the early 20th century, and started in poetry and painting.
Vassily Kandinsky
Cubism
Cubism:
An early 20th-century style and movement in art, especially painting, in which perspective with a single viewpoint was abandoned and use was made of simple geometric shapes, interlocking planes, and, later, collage.
Key Terms
Analytic Cubism:
The early phase of Cubism (1908–12), characterized by a fragmentary appearance of multiple viewpoints and overlapping planes. It often used monochrome colors in neutral shades (brown, gray, etc.)
Synthetic Cubism:
Synthetic cubism (1912–1919) was a further development of the genre of Cubism, in which cut paper fragments – often wallpaper or portions of newspaper pages – were pasted into compositions, marking the first use of collage in fine art.

Futurism
Futurism:
An artistic movement that started in Italy in 1909. It violently rejected traditional forms so as to celebrate and incorporate into art the energy and dynamism of modern technology. It was launched by Filippo Marinetti, and though it had effectively ended by 1918, it was widely influential on art from there.
