19th Century;
Romanticism (1800-1880); was basically a reaction against Neoclassicism, it is a deeply-felt style which is individualistic, beautiful, exotic, and emotionally wrought.

Realism (1830-1870); was a mid-nineteenth century art movement and style in which artists discarded the formulas of Neoclassicism and the theatrical drama of Romanticism to paint familiar scenes and events as they actually looked. Typically it involved some sort of socio-political or moral message, in the depiction of ugly or commonplace subjects.

Impressionism (1867-1886); Impressionist art is a style in which the artist captures the image of an object as someone would see it if they just caught a glimpse of it. It was based, in its strictest sense, on the objective recording of nature in terms of the fugitive effects of colour and light.

Post Impressionism (1880-1920); Post-Impressionists unlike impressionists was in favour of more ambitious expression. They moved away from a naturalistic approach and toward the two major movements of early 20th-century art, which sought to evoke emotion through colour and line.

Expressionism (1940-1960); the movement is marked by its use of brushstrokes and texture, the embracing of chance and the frequently massive canvases, all employed to convey powerful emotions through the glorification of the act of painting itself. In design expressionism could be referred to as anything anyone wishes to express.
Arts and crafts (-1850); the Industrial Revolution separated humans from their own creativity and individualism. These proponents sought to re-establish the ties between beautiful work and the worker, returning to honesty in design not to be found in mass-produced items. Architecture, furniture, and the decorative arts became the focus of the movement.

20th Century
Fauvism (1905-1908); was characterised by paintings that used intensely vivid, non-naturalistic and exuberant colours. The style was essentially expressionist, and generally featured landscapes in which forms were distorted.

Cubism (1908-1914); is a movement where artists broke from centuries of tradition in their painting by rejecting the single viewpoint. Instead they used an analytical system in which three-dimensional subjects were fragmented and redefined from several different points of view simultaneously.

Futurism (1909-1944); was an art movement that took speed, technology and modernity as its inspiration. Paintings usually had the main objects fused with the background in an abstract way.
Modernism (1890-1940); was characterised by the deliberate departure from tradition and the use of innovative forms of expression that distinguish many styles in the arts and literature. Modernism refers to this period’s interest in new types of paints and other materials, in expressing feelings and ideas, in creating abstractions and fantasies, rather than representing what is real.
