1900s Art Movement

The 1900s saw a rich tapestry of art movements, each reflecting the changing world. Impressionism emphasized light and color, while Expressionism conveyed emotions through bold colors and distorted forms. Cubism, led by Picasso, broke subjects into geometric shapes, challenging traditional perspectives. Surrealism explored the subconscious with dreamlike scenes, and Abstract Expressionism focused on non-representational forms and spontaneous expression. Each movement responded to societal shifts, technological advances, and the horrors of wars, pushing boundaries and redefining art’s purpose. Together, they formed a diverse landscape that paved the way for modern and contemporary art.
