Strive to summarize the development history of western art

14-/kloc-The Renaissance in the 6th century opened the beginning of modern western art history.

Nothing happens as an independent individual, and it will neither appear suddenly nor disappear instantly.

The driving force of the whole Renaissance is the emergence of capitalist economy in feudal Europe, the prosperity of urban industry and commerce and its relative political independence or autonomy.

The economic foundation determines the superstructure, and people will inevitably pursue a higher level-spiritual needs after meeting material needs.

During the Renaissance, many famous artists emerged, such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Angie Park Yung-soo and Nederland. Their artistic techniques have deeply influenced art lovers in later generations.

Although the 20th century is not as outstanding as the Renaissance, it is also an active era in the whole art history. In just a hundred years, many artistic schools have emerged since the Fauvism. It has experienced expressionism, cubism, futurism, abstraction, Dadaism, German style, metaphysics, Bauhaus, surrealism, Paris school of painting, abstract expressionism, neo-realism, pop art, Opus art, landscape art, conceptual art, performance art, photo realism, surfers, minimalism, feminism, graffiti, installation art and so on.

With the advent of industrial civilization and machine age in the early 20th century, young artists? People are generally concerned about how to innovate forms to express people's inner feelings and psychology in the rapidly changing industrial society.

Cubism and expressionism came into being at the same time, but expressionism vented artists' dissatisfaction with war and social reality. Cubism originated from Cezanne's theory and creative practice, and artists took Cezanne's statement that "cylinders, spheres and cones are used to express nature" as their artistic pursuit.

Cubism more reflects the social reality of industrial civilization and machine age.

The representative figure is the national idol Picasso. He is keen on avant-garde artistic innovation and never gives up the expression of reality.

The incredible giant oil painting "The Girl in avignon" not only marks a major turning point in Picasso's personal artistic course, but also is a revolutionary breakthrough in the history of modern western art, which triggered the birth of the cubist movement.

With the gradual stability of society, the social environment has been greatly improved. Most of the painting schools that appeared in this period did not have much innovation and were influenced by some previous schools.

It is worth mentioning that Bauhaus, a design school established in Germany 19 19, is the earliest school to carry out design education in the world.

Although it has only gone through a short period of fourteen years, it has an important position in the history of art, and Bauhaus's superior and rigorous teaching system has been used to this day.

It is a work of art in itself, and it is worth learning and appreciating both externally and internally.

It has always been called the most influential and controversial art school in the 20th century, and it was the center of utopian thought and spirit at that time.

It initiated the educational concept of modern design and made irrefutable outstanding achievements in the theory and practice of art education.

The course of Bauhaus is the birth of modern design, and it is also the course of building a bridge between art and mechanical technology, which are far apart.

In the history of art, design can not always attract people's attention like painting, but it is Bauhaus that attracts people's attention to design, which also meets the social needs of highly developed industry.

What has to be mentioned in the art schools after this is abstract expressionism, which has no great innovation in artistic content, but it is the first art movement that rises from the United States.

The rise of this art movement in the United States was influenced by new york's attempt to replace Paris as the world art center.

It is also the first important movement of western art after World War II, enjoying an unparalleled position.

This is the beginning of a long postwar style experiment, marking the arrival of a new era. Since then, the center of modern western art has shifted from Paris to new york.

Studying the art history of China, we will also find that the art center often represents the economic center, which also reflects from the side that with the transfer of the art center, the economic center of the world has also changed.

Just like pop art, although it originated in Britain, it really reached its peak in the United States. In addition to the inheritance of culture, the economy is virtually controlled like a big hand.

American pop artists claim that their popular art is similar to American primitive art and Indian art, and it is the continuation and development of American cultural tradition.

Pop art is also an artistic movement to explore the relationship between pop culture and art.

It tries to overthrow abstract art and turn to figurative pop culture themes such as symbols and trademarks.

Simply put, pop art is the predecessor of today's lower art market.

In 1960s, the influence of pop art began to spread in Britain and America, resulting in many contemporary artists.

In the later period, pop art was almost all about American pop culture.

What is special about pop art is that it has a very special and long-term influence on fashion. Many fashion designers and graphic designers have directly or indirectly obtained or plagiarized inspiration from pop art. ..

It can be said that in artistic spirit, although Pope did not pursue advanced studies, he opened up other paths of art. ..

Andy warhol, one of the representative figures, has become synonymous with parody, avantgarde, madness, popularity and classics.
