1)         shapes

The Cubists turn their figures and objects into various geometric shapes and let them fill out the entire space. The Cubists also never use perspective points, instead they use multiple perspective points so that their paintings look like a jigsaw puzzle. The famous Cubists are Pablo Picasso (1881-1973), Georges Braque (1882-1963), Fernand Leger (1881-1955), and Jacques Lipchitz (1891-1973).

2)         Colorful.

The Impressionists use loose brushstrokes, bright color, and less shadow onto their paintings in order to capture the light effect and the change of weather. Even though many critics insult and complain about how Impressionists’ colors hurt their eyes and blurry pictures, the artists continue to display their works,because they think that their art works represent an impression of the “visual appearance of a subject rather than a precise notation” (Grove Art). The famous Impressionism painters are Claude Monet (1840-1926), Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919), Edouard Manet (1832-1883), and Edgar Degas (1834-1917).

3)         The beauty of the world

The Futurism are fascinated by the change of the society and cultures. They often demonstrate the main theme of technologies and machines through artworks. Some Futurism artists are Umberto Boccioni (1882-1916), Giacomo Balla (1871-1958), Gino Severini (1883-1966), and Carlo Carra (1881-1966).

4)         Imagination and dream

The Surrealists’ art works are inspired by Sigmund Freud’s works about unconscious mind and dreams. The Surrealists turn many of the everyday objects into portraits of strange-looking creatures as figures so that they could show the amazing dream world and the imagination. The Surrealism artists are Andre Breton (1896-1966), Joan Miro (1893-1983), Max Ernst (1891-1976), and Salvador Dali (1904-1989).

5)         Creative

The Expressionists are known for using swirling and swaying brushstrokes, and using strong and bold color onto their paintings so that the viewers can feel the anxieties of the modern world. Some Expressionist artists are Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880-1938), Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944), Edvard Munch (1863-1944), and Paul Klee (1879-1940).
