Notes for S2 3rd term visual arts examination Modern Art (From Impressionism to Expressionism) Impressionism Post-impressionism Fauvism

uvism Pointillism Art Nouveau Symbolism Group of Seven Expressionism Impressionism was an attempt to accurately and objectively record visual reality in terms of transient effects of light and color. Post-impressionism extended Impressionism while rejecting its limitations: they continued using vivid colors, thick application of paint, distinctive brush strokes, and real-life subject matter, but they were more inclined to emphasize geometric forms, to distort form for expressive effect, and to use unnatural or arbitrary color. Fauvism was a short-lived movement but one that marked the advent of Modernism. The style of painting, using non-naturalistic colors, was one of the first avant-garde developments in European art. Pointillism is a form of painting in which the use of tiny primary-color dots is used to generate secondary colors. Art Nouveau is an elegant decorative art style characterized by intricately detailed patterns of curving lines. Symbolism was a late 19th century art movement that influenced many modern trends. Group of Seven (sometimes known as the Algonquin school was a group of Canadian landscape painters from 1920 to 1933) artist were strongly influenced by Impressionism, Post-impressionism, Fauvism, Art Nouveau and Symbolism creating bold vividly-colored canvases and instilling elements of the landscape with symbolic meaning. Expressionism is a style of art in which the intention is not to reproduce a subject accurately, but instead to portray it in such a way as to express the inner state of the artist.
