Art and design movements

Art and design movements are trends that reflect how artists and designers express ideas and emotions over time, often influenced by cultural, social, and political shifts. For example, Impressionism focused on capturing fleeting moments and light with loose brushwork, while Art Deco emphasized sleek, geometric shapes with a sense of luxury. Movements like Modernism embraced minimalism and functionalism, rejecting ornate styles, whereas Surrealism explored dreams and the subconscious through bizarre imagery. Each movement has distinct styles and philosophies, shaping the visual language and aesthetic preferences of its era, and influencing contemporary art and design.
