An art movement is a tendency or style in art with a specific common philosophy or goal, followed by a group of artists during a restricted period of time, or, at least, with the heyday of the movement more or less strictly so restricted (usually a few months, years or decades). Art movements were especially important in modern art, where each consecutive movement was considered as a new avant-garde. Movements have almost entirely disappeared in contemporary art, where individualism and diversity prevail. The term refers to tendencies in visual art, novel ideas and architecture, and sometimes literature. In music it is more common to speak about genres and styles instead. See also cultural movement, a term with a broader connotation. Because the names of many art movements use the -ism suffix (for example cubism and futurism), they are sometimes referred to as isms. name="External_links" id="External_links">

And all the forms and objects therein have served as residents of that space – forms and objects with their own dynamics, their own identities and functions. However, I have taken care, that the forms and objects I introduced in my picture space, well integrate with the space they are l... (read more)

November 07, 2008
Beginning in Austria with the "Secession" in 1897, the new art movement spread immediately to Germany, became significant in interior decoration in France since the World War, and arrived in the United States after 1925.

Among these earlier excursions, one may name William Morris (1884-1896) and the English contemporaries of Ruskin, who brought a return to simpler, more direct methods of design, away from the custom of period design. Another progenitor was Louis Sullivan, the Amer... (read more)

14. The frame makes the painting - the importance of the setting
August 05, 2008
As proven in the modern art movement, any object can pretend to art if set within a clever framework. To give attention to the setting is important as the latter governs the way we appreciate and understand art.
Paintings have been framed ever since the portable image was invented, i.e. since imagery ceased being permanently fixed into or unto the wall and became mobile, hung according to the whim of the owner. The frame was a natural substitute for the architectural background of the fresco or secco mural. It is definitely the frame that gives to painting its known window effect, invit... (read more)
