Top 10 Most Influential Art Styles In Modern History
A lot has changed since the days of the old, as technology progresses and new discoveries are being made in science, so how can Art stay from innovating and using newer techniques and mediums, and some mediums like spray paints and Ink wash are so unique on their own that they are their own style.
They can generally be categorised into Eastern and Western styles based on their origin, and into many other sub-groups based on regions, style and even time-periods. The Western styles are getting more recognition today like Modernism, Impressionism and Surrealism.
Modernism
It is a very vague term, but generally, it is defined as the time somewhere between 1860 to 1970 when Artists broke free from the traditional Methods and worked without any restrictions because many Artists felt the traditional methods weren't aligned with the worldview of modern society and the changing times.
Impressionism
This style originated in Paris in the late 19th century. Its main features are the thin brush strokes, unusual angles, natural lighting and the use of common everyday objects with more emphasis on how the lights interact with the objects rather than the details and black and white were almost never used, even for shadows only a combination of colours to emulate the light and the dark.
Abstract Art
The Abstract Style is the art of showing the subject only with colour and vaguely familiar and exaggerated shape which frees the artist from the restrictions of forms and reality itself. It found its roots in impressionism and took it ten steps further in the direction.
