ART

GENRES
The concept of genre in art is historically connected to
specific ways of organizing and classifying art. A
hierarchy of genres was often present in different artistic
contexts.

Genre painting was developed in the Netherlands in the


17th Century as part of a broader hierarchy of genres. It
concerns the artistic depiction of everyday life, rather than
staged portraits, landscapes, or idealized historical scenes.
TYPES OF ART GENRES
• Renaissance • Surrealism
• Rococo • Abstract Art
• Romanticism • Bauhaus Art
• Expressionism • Pop Art
• Impressionism • Realist Art
RENAISSANCE

The Renaissance is known as the period during which painting as


a fine art began in earnest. In the hands of artists like
Michaelangelo, Rubens and Caravaggio, art was conceived as a
way to showcase human achievement in the form of sculpture,
painting, and prints. Art was also used as a method of portraying
explicitly human potentials. Renaissance Art thrived in a period
in European history that signalled the transition from the middle
ages to the modern age.
The Last Supper
(Leonardo Da Vinci)
ROCOCO

Rococo is a flamboyant yet light-hearted form of art often


characterized by whites and pastel colors, gilding, and
curvaceous lines. The Rococo style typically depicts scenes
of youth, love, and nature, and elicits motion and drama.
Jean-Antoine Watteau
Pélerinage à l'île de Cythère (Pilgrimage to Cythera), 1717
ROMANTICISM

During the peak of the Romanticism era, well into the middle of
the 19th century, artists had begun to make great strides towards
the increasing autonomization of art as a discipline with standards
that spoke more to the intuitive and impulsive side of the human
experience. Artists in this era used romanticism to demonstrate that
senses and emotions are as important as reason and order in
understanding and experiencing the world.
(The Raft of the Medusa (1818 – 1819))
Théodore Géricault
IMPRESSIONISM

Impressionism, pioneered in the late 19th century by luminaries like Paul


Cézanne, Camille Pissaro, and Alfred Sisley, sought to wrest painterly
perception away from conventions of realism and representation and refound
them in natural impressions. Impressionism as an art form was a movement in
which paintings were characterized by tiny brushstrokes that give the
impression of form and unblended colors, with natural light accurately
emphasized
(Music in the Tuileries, 1862)
Édouard Manet
EXPRESSIONISM

Expressionism, artistic style in which the artist seeks to depict not


objective reality but rather the subjective emotions and responses that
objects and events arouse within a person.
(The Scream (1893))
Edvard Munch
SURREALISM

Surrealism aims to revolutionise human experience. It balances


a rational vision of life with one that asserts the power of the
unconscious and dreams. The movement's artists find magic and
strange beauty in the unexpected and the uncanny, the
disregarded and the unconventional.
(The Menaced Assassin )
René Magritte
ABSTRACT ART

Abstract art is one of the flagship movements of modern art.


Consisting of both figurative and non-figurative depictions,
and represented by everything from warped and twisted
sculpture to the aleatory, or randomized splash painting
methods of mid-century abstract expressionism, abstract art
embodies a new purpose for art beyond the mere
representation of our subjective reality
(Convergence 1952)
Jackson Pollock
BAUHAUS ART

The Bauhaus is a German artistic movement which lasted from


1919-1933. Its goal was to merge all artistic mediums into one
unified approach, that of combining an individual's artistry with
mass production and function. Bauhaus design is often abstract,
angular, and geometric, with little ornamentation.
(Red Balloon 1922)
Paul Klee
POP ART

Pop art is an art movement that emerged in the


United Kingdom and the United States during the
mid- to late- 1950s. The movement presented a
challenge to traditions of fine art by including
imaginary from popular and mass culture, such as
advertising, comic books and mundane mass-
produced objects.
(Crying Girl 1963)
Roy Lichtenstein
REALIST ART

Realism in art encompasses a broad range of trends and styles.


In its original formulation, realism stood in for the ambition to
capture the world as it is. A later definition described it as art
which seeks to capture social realities. Today, realist art is
shaped by photorealist paintings, a movement which began in
the 1970s and swept across the art world, influencing multiple
genres and artistic disciplines.
(The Elder Sister Painting) William-
Adolphe Bouguereau
