Art is always and everywhere the secret confession, and at the same time the immortal movement of its time - From Karl Marx to the age old art modern, we met many artistic styles and movements. Most of them were new creation or transformation of one or other styles. Efforts by individual, group or fraternity and schools lined art style in multiple art history. This is my attempt highlight best known and artistic styles, movements and influence. If everything is covered, its reference will be left for further details.

If it is about the history of art, then the term was invented more than a style of art covering the period of history Europe in the late Middle Ages and the advent of the modern world. A style of art born in the 14th century and lived until 17th century. An art movement that was then broken down into more than eight forms of regional development by historians. That means "rebirth" and was characterized by a profound shift in the arts, medicine, politics and science in Europe.

It is none other than the Renaissance! It was the time when individual expression and experience of the world have become two of the main themes. Renaissance is of Italian origin, later he was known as one of the best known European Art Movements. By Region - Renaissance has been identified by the own regional movement in Italy England, Germany, Northern Europe, French, Netherlands, Poland and Spain. By time he is called Early Renaissance, High Renaissance, Renaissance Harlem and Northern Renaissance. The word Renaissance is now often used to describe other historical and cultural moments (such as the Carolingian Renaissance, the Byzantine Renaissance).

Leonardo da Vinci was the model Renaissance man representing the humanistic values of the period of his Art, science and writing. Michelangelo and Raphael were also key figures in this movement, producing works regarded for centuries as embodying the classical notion of perfection. Renaissance architects included Alberti, Brunelleschi and Bramante.

The classicism of the Renaissance has planted two different movements of Mannerism and Baroque. Mannerism was a reaction against the idealist perfection of Classicism. The appeal of Baroque curves deliberately from the amusing and intellectual qualities of art from the 16th century Mannerist an intuitive appeal to the senses. Used a Baroque iconography that was direct, simple, obvious and dramatic.

Baroque art drew on certain broad and heroic tendencies in Annibale Carracci and his circle, and found inspiration in other artists like Correggio, Caravaggio, and Federico Barocci nowadays sometimes termed 'proto-Baroque. " Although Baroque was archaic in many centers by the Rococo style began in France in the late 1720s, paintings more than ever for domestic and decorative arts, Baroque architecture remained a functional style until the advent of neo-classicism ascetic century Later, 18. Ingres, Canova, and Jacques-Louis David are among the most famous neoclassical.

Neoclassicism was nothing but a reaction against two surviving Baroque and Rococo styles, and a desire to return to the perceived "purity" of art in Rome and Ancient Greek. Neoclassicism was also the lone representative of the movement of the American Renaissance. As Mannerism discarded classicism, romanticism too rejected the ideas of the Enlightenment and the neoclassical aesthetic. Romanticism movement turned world attention to the landscape and nature and the human figure and the supremacy the natural order above humanity. Hudson River School was highly influenced by romanticism.

However sustained Neoclassicism to be a force primarily in academic art through the 19th century and beyond. Academic art was fierce opposition to romanticism or Gothic Revival.

In the 19th century, after the impact of industrialization - Poverty, misery and despair were fortune of the new working class. Where Romanticism was an optimism towards humanity; situation of bringing art to watching reality given the chance to realism. Social Realism, Magic Realism, photo realism and contemporary realism are the new forms of realism. Related movements were Pre-Raphaelites and the Arts and Crafts Movement.

Neo-classical movement rejected the extreme romanticism of Dada (which drove the discovery of reality authentic through the abolition of traditional culture and aesthetic forms), for control, religion and dyed-in-the-wool political agenda. Dada ignored aesthetics. Dada became an influential movement in modern art. It has also influenced Surrealism, Pop Art and Fluxus.

Concept of Realism to see the world through the human eye has given birth to Impressionism. The use of bright colors more visible improvement (as opposed to academic art) and the blows that were mixed in the viewer's eyes are key characteristics of Impressionism. The Group Seven was strongly influenced by European Impressionism of the late nineteenth century.

Fauvism & Post-Impressionism followed Impressionism. Later, Fauvism, modern art began to forge itself into many new forms, including Cubism, Expressionism, Abstract Art, Dada, abstract expressionism, futurism, Naive Art, Op Art, surrealism, minimalism, pop art and more. The modern art form itself needs separate discussion.

After transformation of several forms, painting still breathes in "Contemporary Art and Post Modern Art.
