My topic for my paper is on the major art movements that emerged from the early 1900s up until the late 1950s in western Europe and how one or more of the movements might have impacted the making of another one and how they are, if they are, connected. I like this topic because I like art and how people can express themselves in so many different ways and I thought it would be cool to learn about some of the different ways people did and why they did. I have found a good amount of information for my paper so far and hope it all turns out well. I have found a few movements that have developed with influence from some of the movements before it and how later movements did the same. Pretty cool stuff sometimes but I wont be able to even think about art history of almost any kind after this...
Many different art movements emerged in western Europe from the early 1900s up until the late 1950s and some of them were influenced by others and were the ones later movements weer influenced by. First came Cubism and Abstractionism around 1908-1910 and they were really new ways that people could express themselves, although they were very color and shape oriented and different in a few ways, the whole abstract subject/hidden subject thing was the same. Expressionism was really a combination of a few of the movements but had a big desire for expressing emotion making it kind of different. Modernism was a movement in which people simplified a lot and were trying not to look back on the past and paint up to date, but a little bit Cubist with their straight line choices and color choices. Futurism is similar although it was more of what's alter than what's in the future. Art Deco was a movement that was popular in the mid 1920s to late 1930s, when it ended up at the worlds fair in New York and became overshadowed be other movements and such. It was really a mix of all the past modernist/cubist/etc. movements and the last development was Pop art. This was mainly used for ads depicting movies and like coca cola and stuff the younger people of the generation were drawn to, having a bunch of young artists in it as well.
Well, ya, that's my research...
This topic is so perfect for you Wendy! You are an amazing artist and I bet that makes this topic really interesting to learn about. You sound like you're ready to write your paper, the organization is very good. Good luck along the way but it sounds good to me.
