What are the schools of fine arts painting?

In the history of art, "Cezanne" is the boundary.

Cezanne's previous paintings mainly depict objective objects, so we attach importance to the authenticity and objectivity of painting and the anatomical structure of proportional perspective, which we collectively call traditional painting. There are many schools of traditional painting, such as romanticism, realism and classicism. The art of reviving ancient Greece has been revived several times in history, so classical art and neoclassical art came into being. Its characteristics are: stable composition and emphasis on sketch relationship.

The focus of painting after Cezanne lies in the expression of the painter's own spiritual thoughts. The main artistic schools are Fauvism, Cubism, Surrealism, Pop Art, etc.

Impressionism was due to the discovery of spectrum in physics at that time, which made the artist's expression form develop from color harmony to visual harmony-painting without using primary colors, focusing on the expression of light and color. Although impressionism is a little different from traditional painting, painters still pay attention to the authenticity of objects, so impressionism is still classified as traditional painting. Cezanne was the first post-impressionist painter to express emotion and spirit with painting.
