What is an Artistic Movement or Art Movement?

An "Art Movement" is an art style with a particular philosophy or specialized approach, followed by a group of painters or artists during a period in art history, usually for decades. While the subject matter can be anything, it is a useful historical tool for recording painters together during a period or with a painting style they all follow. There is no settled rule about what constitutes an art movement or who is in it.

Artists related to one movement may hold fast to strict standards, while those who belong to another may have little in common in style or like manner. The naming of artistic movements is done later in time by critics or art historians. However, occasionally, the naming is done by the artist himself, or taken from a painting's name. There are many minor art movements, sometimes consisting only of a few artists. Art critics or historians have also broken up a movement into sub-movements, sometimes confusingly. The movements are broken down as to how and why they came about, what is special about them, and which artists are in that group. This is done along with oil painting highlights and much more. More information about specific artists can be found here in our extensive biography section . You can also search our database by artist, color, or subject matter .
