A bold New Movement
 Expressionist artists created
works with more emotional force,
rather than with realistic or natural
images.
They worked more with their
imagination and feelings, rather than
with their eyes saw in physical
world.
Among the various styles that arose
within the expressionist art movement
were: Neoprimitivism
Fauvism
Dadaism
Surrealism
Social realism
Neoprimitivism
- was an art style that
incorporated elements from the
native arts of the South Sea Islanders
and the wood carvings of African
tribes that surged in popularity at the
time.
 Fauvism
- was a style that used bold,
vibrant colors, visual distortions
 Dadaism
- was a style characterized by
dream fantasies, memory images and
visual tricks and surprises.
- the movement arose from the
pain felt after the suffering brought by
World War I.
 Surrealism
-was a style that clearly expressing
a departure from reality-as though the
artists were dreaming, seeing illusions,
or experiencing an altered mental
state.
 Social Realism
-artists used their works to protest
against the injustices, inequalities,
immortality and ugliness of the
human condition.
 Abstractionism
- it had the same spirit of freedom
of expression and openness that
characterized life in the 20th century,
but differed from expressionism in
certain ways.
Grouped under abstractionism are the
following art styles:
Cubism
Futurism
Mechanical Style
Nonobjectivism

its name from the cube, a
three-dimentional
geometric figure.

1900s
-the futurists created art for
fast-paced, machine-propelled age.
 Mechanical Style

- in this style, basic forms such as
planes, cones, spheres and cylinders
all fit together precisely and neatly in
their appointed places.
 Nonobjectivism
- the logical movement
conclusion of abstractionism
-works in this style did not
make use of figures or even
representations of figures.
 Abstract Expressionism
- the daring young artists in this
movement succeeded in creating
their own synthesis of Europe's
cubist and surrealist styles.

- thier works ranged from
paintings, to posters, to collages,
to three-dimensional
“assemblages” and installations.

a form of “action painting” with
the action taking place in the
viewer's eye.
