1874 Impressionism

• In April 1874 a group of artists, calling
  themselves Societe Anonyme des Artistes,
  Peintres, Sculpteurs, Graveurs -- roughly
  Artists, Painters, Sculptors, Engravers, Inc.
  -- opened an exhibition independent of the
  official Salon. Conspicuously absent was Edouard
  Manet, recognized leader of the avant-garde.
  Manet never participated in any of their eight
  exhibitions, but his bold style and modern
  subjects inspired these younger artists, who came
  to be known as impressionists. Artists include

Art Nouveau 1880s

• A decorative art movement that emerged in
  the late nineteenth century decorative-art
  movement centered in Western Europe. It 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 jugendstil in
  Germany, sezessionstil in Austria, and modernismo
  in Spain. In general it was most successfully
  practiced in the decorative arts furniture,
  jewelry, and book design and illustration. The
  style was richly ornamental and asymmetrical,
  characterized by a whiplash linearity reminiscent
  of twining plant tendrils. Its exponents chose
  themes fraught with symbolism, frequently of an
  erotic nature. They imbued their designs with
  dreamlike and exotic forms.

The Arts and Crafts Movement

• The Arts and Crafts Movement refers to the
  loosely-linked group of craftsmen, artists,
  designers and architects who aimed to raise the
  status of the applied arts to that of the fine
  arts.
• Largely inspired by William Morris, other
  key artists in the movement included William de
  Morgan, Henry Holiday, Walter Crane, the
  architect and designer Philip Webb and
  Christopher Whall. Alexander Fisher was the
  leading Arts and Crafts enameller.

Expressionism

• Expressionism is the art of the emotive, the
  art of tension provoked by consciousness of the
  forces which surround modern humankind. The
  inevitability of world war, the rise of
  industrialization, the new power of capitalism -
  all these things weighed on men's minds at the
  beginning of the century, especially in Germany.
• Early twentieth century northern European
  art, especially in Germany c. 1905-25. Artists
  such as Rouault, Kokoschka, and Schiele painted
  in this manner.

Cubism

• Highly influential visual arts style of the
  20th century that was created principally by the
  painters 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, modeling, and
  chiaroscuro and refuting time-honored theories of
  art as the imitation of nature.

Vorticism

• The British artistic movement called
  Vorticism, a mixture of Futurism and Cubism,
  lasted from 1912 to 1915, and was founded by
  British painter Wyndham Lewis in 1914. It was an
  arrogant movement, with Lewis considering its
  few members to be of Anglo-Saxon genius, which
  was a somewhat Fascist attitude.
• The few artists included in the movement
  were, as with the Futurists, concerned with the
  machine, but rather than worship it in the
  Futurist fashion, they recognized that it was
  something to be wary of.
• The best-known Vorticists were Lewis, the
  sculptor Jacob Epstein, Edward Wadsworth, and the
  poet Ezra Pound.
